...register more than satiety and fatigue. The fault lies partly with the director. In the Fellini version, the actors literally performed by saying the numbers. "It was a multilingual cast," says the maestro. "So instead of having them speak dialogue, I often just had them count one, two, three." Hiram Keller, recruited from the Broadway production of Hair to play Encolpius' intimate, Ascyltus, was given instructions of equal subtlety: "You are evil and you lay everything in sight...

He got off his share of quips. He correctly forecast, for example, that the nominating speech for Senator Hiram Fong "will tell us more than we want to know about Hawaii."

Last month for the first time, the adventure included a woman mountain climber, who paused halfway up a rock face to ask: "Do I really have to do this sort of thing to earn my Canadian Club?" Meanwhile, Seagram Distillers Co., whose moderation ads since 1933 have cautioned fathers and counseled sons on drinking, switched pictures...
