...began a passionate telegram of protest that, reported the London Sunday Times in a copyrighted story last week, had been sent by Soviet Poet Evgeny Evtushenko to Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev and Premier Aleksei Kosygin on Aug. 22, the day after Warsaw Pact forces invaded Czechoslovakia. If Evtushenko was indeed the author, it was a bold and surprising act. Once the daring young man of Russia's liberals, in recent years the poet has become a kind of safe Establishment rebel. He wielded a careful pen, which earned him gaudy trips around the world, reading his works...

Identifying their problems with his own, Wilson observed that "we have gone through a great deal together in defense of everything we stand for." Finally, as London's Times observed, "hamming it unmercifully, but hamming it like an old trouper," he ended on a rousing burst of old-fashioned socialist oratory: "It is the job of every member of this party to join with their government in defending the bastions we have won from those who would...

...Judy Carne, 29, from Northampton, England, played cabaret revues in London before coming to the U.S. in 1961 to star in the short-lived TV series Fair Exchange, The Baileys of Balboa and Love on a Rooftop. A spunky little pixie of a girl, she is the one forever getting drenched with water when she cries "Sock it to me!" Since she is presumably a little wiser now, the scripts go to elaborate lengths to get her to utter the deathless phrases. Now, when she appears as a geisha girl and says, "It may be rice wine...
