Leary is a surprisingly staid fellow and doubtless disappointed many in his hip audience last Thursday night at PBH. His one concession to that sensibility was an outrageous amoeboid tie, but his tweediness in other respects would have endeared him to any Clubbie, had there been one in attendance. Close-up, Leary looks a little punchy, especially his eyes and nose, but there is certainly no indication of it when he speaks. Inclined to diffidence until he senses some empathy on the part of his questioner, Leary seized the first opportunity to let me know that our "interviewer-victim relationship...
Moxie & Malarky. NBC's I Spy also succeeds, in part because it turns its back on the Fleming flammery, makes a hip thriller out of two CIA types touring the world as a tennis bum (Robert Culp) and his Oxford-educated Negro trainer (Bill Cosby).

...75th birthday in July, Stengel fell and fractured his hip. Doctors told him that he might never walk properly again, so Casey, who has been quietly salting it away for years, decided to go home to his bank (the Valley National of Glendale, Calif.), his "dozens" of oil wells, his stock portfolio, and his six-story office building in Glendale. He was still on the Mets's payroll as the club's "West Coast vice president"-or, in Stengel's words, "the highest-priced scout you've ever seen." Coach Wes Westrum would manage the team...
...unendurably dull for Wife Alison, a nattering know-it-all who reads Proust and thinks life should be lived as a work of art. She leaves him, goes back to Stapleton, Pa. Shocked into action, Fred quits his job and solemnly sets out to discover how to be hip...
