...Honey Pie to the West Indian Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da to the schmaltzy Good Night, a sweeping panorama of pop genres unfolds in parodies, pastiches, takeoffs and put-ons. The boys even spoof themselves. George Harrison's Savoy Truffle contains a cross reference to Lennon and Mc Cartney's Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. In Rocky Raccoon, Paul McCartney imitates successfully and amusingly the nasal delivery of Bob Dylan. The lyric...
Unless one happens to be a voyeur, it is sexier to imagine plays with nudes than to actually see them. Sweet Eros is no exception to this rule, even though the naked girl (Sally Kirkland) in this off-Broadway one-acter by Terrence Mc-Nally is on view for almost an hour. The skin show is more abstract than erotic, and terribly sedate. The girl is bound to a chair and gagged most of the time, and initially clothed. Possibly the most exciting scene in this distinctly lethargic drama is the one in which she is undressed by her captor...
...Chicago convention that they would never vote for Humphrey. As the campaign wore on, they evolved a sort of tentative sympathy and affection for the Vice President that was only sharpened by their accumulating distaste for Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew.

They even became intolerant of McCarthyites who refused to join them. Some question remained of how badly Humphrey was hurt by dissident Democrats who stayed away...
...astounding 31-6 record to lead the Detroit Tigers to their first pennant in 23 years. In the National League, the St. Louis Cardinals' Bob Gibson, 33, boasted equally stunning statistics: a 22-9 record that included a phenomenal 13 shutouts. The voting last week was unanimous. Mc-Lain for the American League; Gibson for the National. But who was the best? Said McLain, twice beaten by Gibson in the World Series: "Bobby is the greatest pitcher I have ever seen, and that includes...
...Switzerland is third in investment ($949 million), but first in secrecy; its ministry of economic affairs regards attempts to measure the country's U.S. interests as "industrial spying." The Swiss stake, nonetheless, is growing. Nestle has increased its holding in Libby, Mc-Neill & Libby (food canning) from 20% to 35%. Alusuisse is building a $63 million aluminum-processing plant at Lake Charles, La., and Swiss watchmakers are buying heavily into Waltham, Elgin and other U.S. companies...
