...city's nocturnal watering holes. "Come postmidnight, dusk or 4 a.m., and there is Daddy-O, taking large gulps of refreshing nightclub air somewhere on the Left Bank," wrote the London Evening Standard's Paris correspondent. Among his recent companions: Actress Elsa Martinelli and her photographer husband, Henri Dubonnet of the apéritif family, the Maharani of Baroda. And Jackie-O? Last week Mrs. Onassis was reportedly winging into Paris to disengage Ari from the spas and take him to the Canary Islands...
...ridicule-a shambling hulk (6 ft. 4 in., 250 Ibs.) of a man with baggy pants. But his opponents know better than to laugh. Foreman combines a superbly skilled legal mind with a brilliant sense of showmanship. In one case, he defended a woman who had killed her husband, a cattleman, because he had flogged her with a whip.

The reason is that he resisted selective service and the draft and militarism in general." The second sentence was cut. Also deleted were such soporific bits as Comic Jackie Mason's gag about children...
Moviegoers who have seen Jacques Demy's The Model Shop may also be curious about a picture by his wife, who is a director too. She is known professionally as Agnès Varda, and at first glance her work and her husband's seem totally different. While he conjures up pastel never-never lands, she broods over such weighty matters as morality, predestination and the nature of reality. But husband and wife do have in com-BOULAT mon two uncommon traits: the ability to reduce everything to playground platitudes and a stylistic pomposity that serves only...
