...full of self-doubt, self-confidence, self-satisfaction and self-recollection. Previn has played a schmalzy Loewe to Lerner's Lerner. As for Hepburn's voice, Previn thinks she's got it. "There's been an enormous improvement just since I heard her last summer," he says. As Adler sees it, "She's like Rex Harrison, only she out-Rexes Rex: you never quite know when the singing stops and the talking begins."

Renewal of Triangle's license to operate WFIL-TV in Philadelphia has been opposed by a former Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Pennsylvania, Milton Shapp. He claimed last July that Triangle exercised "a near news monopoly in the Philadelphia area," and that under Annenberg's direction, news had been "censored, omitted, twisted, distorted and used for personal vengeance."
