That plan envisioned a 32-man interim government of blacks and whites, with a British "commissioner" at its head (TIME, Jan. 17). Since the commissioner would have a decisive vote and broad discretionary powers to alter the racial makeup of the group, Smith dismissed the idea as "political suicide."

But because their beauty is so important to the show, they have to rouse themselves around 5 a.m. to give the hairdressers and makeup artists time to work their magic.
