...guest has just said. When Norman Mailer once proclaimed that he was smarter than the other guests, Cavett briskly offered him another chair to contain his giant intellect. While the Jack Paars or the Merv Griffins or the Johnny Carsons put on guests like Zsa Zsa Gabor and Buddy Hackett, Cavett is likely to capture such provocative types as Katharine Hepburn, Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles and Lester Maddox...

...confirmed with a kiss from the British star of My Fat Friend Lynn Redgrave. "I used to be scared working in New York," she cooed to the patrolmen, "but this time I notice a huge difference." Two years ago, 60 actors, including Hal Holbrook, Julie Harris and Joan Hackett petitioned the city for better protection of the grubby Great White Way. It was claimed that actors could not step outside the greenroom without getting goosed or mugged. Today, says A Little Night Music's Hermione Gingold, "There are far less evil-looking people around."

Over the years, he has shifted from a loose, rambling monologue to a terser, more telegraphic style ("Redd Foxx getting Vegas divorce . . . Bobby Hackett very ill . . ."). He kept the column going during the 23 years he emceed his television variety show, but has cut back from five pieces a week to two. Unlike some other columnists, Sullivan does not use a ghostwriter for his items, many of which he obtains from a network of famous friends. "I call people like...

At 71, Erickson stands in the forefront of a revival of hypnotherapy-in eclipse since Freud rejected it as too superficial and impermanent. "Erickson is the most innovative practitioner of hypnosis since Mesmer," says Dr. Thomas Hackett, chief of the psychiatric consultation service at Massachusetts General Hospital. Although Erickson sometimes uses deep hypnotic trances to work his will on his psychiatric patients, he often limits himself to straightforward commands. He does not, however, explain the exact psychological mechanism behind his cures...
