Restless Entrepreneur Norton Simon has yet to find the all-purpose chief executive for Hunt Foods & Industries. Recently, Simon replaced President Francis Fabian, 52, an operations expert who served him for about two years. Into the gap went William E. McKenna, 48, a smooth-talking senior vice president from Litton Industries with an accounting background and a Harvard Business School degree. Simon makes no bones about the reason for the change: he wants to expand his empire of subsidiaries and affiliates, which already includes McCall Corp., Hunt-Wesson Foods, Inc., Knox Glass Inc., Canada Dry Corp. and Crucible Steel Corp...

Says Jack gallantly: "If Sandy had been playing my role, we'd probably still be running." The show closed after 36 performances, and she switched to Graham Greene's Complaisant Lover, which starred Sir Michael Redgrave. In an ingenue supporting role, she made her splash opening night when the elastic of her half-slip gave way. As the silk was heading...
...plays Oberon's fairy queen, Titania, has a problem with here sibilants, but also has the pleasure of actually flying in through the air on a bowery cloud, looking for all the world like some goddess in a Baroque opera. Theseus (Myles Eason) and his fiancee Hippolyta (Marilyn McKenna) are forgettable portrayals; in fact, I've forgotten them...
