...presumably described as "state business." Martin's Pierre-based first wife, Mary Lou, in her late 40s, who bore him four children, now aged eight to 25, moved with her husband from Kansas in 1967. She refused to comment on her husband's connubial commuting except to maintain stiffly: "This is not fact." Wife No. 2, Patricia, 34, with whom Martin had five children, now 14 months to nine years old, was less reticent. She told reporters that she felt "sorry" for Martin's other wife but she thought he had been divorced...
...Dignity. The state also had a few questions. South Dakota Attorney General William Janklow wants to know whether Martin falsified his expense vouchers to maintain his two wives, nine children and two homes; his annual salary was only $23,500. Janklow is ready to ask a grand jury to investigate Martin's accounts, which, among other things, generally list the Tally-Ho as lodging at $11.50 a night...

It was no surprise, then, when the House leadership, under Speaker Thomas McGee of Lynn, fought against Markey's bill. It passed despite their objections, and McGee, known around the State House for his pettiness, gained his revenge by throwing Markey off the Judiciary Committee...
David Eddy (Scapino) is a case in point. Eddy is a fine actor and his pirate imitation in the second act marks the highlight of the show. But Eddy does not possess the polished energy needed to maintain two solid hours of high-flying farce. The part crys out for Jim Dale in a very special way. While certain parts have been stamped by the individuals who made them famous--Liza Minelli in Cabaret, Zero Mostel in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, to name two--rarely is a part actually created for a specific stage...
