...good old Flat Rock (N.C.) nanny. Her breeder: a University of Chicago Phi Bete ('04) now specializing in capralogy, Lillian Steichen Sandburg, 78, sister of Photographer Edward Steichen and wife (since 1908) of Poet-Lincoln Lord Carl Sandburg. The record: 191 Ibs. of butterfat, 5,750 Ibs. of milk in a 305-day period...
Brightest on the byways: Under Milk Wood, a lyrical evocation of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas' imaginary town; Call Me by My Rightful Name, a fresh look at interracial misfits by new Playwright Michael Shurtleff; The American Dream, Edward Albee's quietly angry, queerly comic comment on modern man; The Connection, a notoriously graphic portrait of some beatniks with golden arms; The Zoo Story, another Albee study, teamed with Samuel Beckett's monologue, Krapp's Last Tape; In the Jungle of Cities, far-out but fascinating early play by Bertolt Brecht; and the already classic Brecht...
...Hollywood, perhaps even more than in Manhattan, going out to lunch is a rite and an art, and in such gin-filled aquariums as the Brown Derby and Romanoff's, the tab frequently exceeds what a strong man could earn in a month delivering milk or teaching high school algebra. But last week it seemed that matters had gotten out of hand. Spyros Skouras, the sovereign lord of 20th Century-Fox, had summoned Writer-Producer-Director Leslie Stevens to a staff lunch. Stevens, whose Daystar Corp. forms a powerful fealty under the Skouras fief, sent a proxy, and Skouras...
...scrappy but fascinating "featurette" (28 minutes) that observes in full color the recondite fauna of several seldom-visited islands-the Galápagos, the Falklands and Guadalupe. Best shots: a hideous six-foot iguana leaps into the sea and instantly seems transmogrified into a silly wriggling pollywog in a milk bottle; an elephant seal, a 20-ft. blob of blubber, lies snoring into its floppy, built-in nosebag, looking from the neck up like none other than W. C. Fields; a 500-lb. Galápagos tortoise, that roughly resembles an old grey washtub upside down, changes abruptly...
...Lafleur painting for half an hour and practically belches from such gorging. Somatically speaking, the paintings can be eaten. Lafleur's "nutritive period" works skyrocket from 12,000 francs to 10 million. Even one of his "starvation period" paintings "radiates the equivalent of a small glass of milk." As the press and art critics rave, the public riots for its share of edible art. Lafleur is bureaucratized as a French national resource. But when the nutritive fad is played out, a Lafleur painting is about as valuable as a leftover brioche...
