Julie Harris plays a would-be actress who is too unnerved by auditions to try for any parts. Since her rent-controlled Manhattan apartment costs so little, she sublets it and lives off her tiny capitalistic mite. Her latest boarder (Lou Antonio) is a big Hollywood stag hiding out from his studio. He has been afflicted with a bad case of that integrity rash that Hollywood celestials periodically get from banking lots of money...
...headquarters of the Studebaker Corp. is still in South Bend, Ind., but its best-known operation and at least some of its hopes are in Hamilton, Ont., where Studebaker's auto division moved last year after losing $50 million since 1959.

We snicker as he slaps luscious Daniela Bianchi around a compartment on the Orient Express. We cheer as he dumps a non-swimmer into the Adriatic with the valediction "This just isn't your...
...this interest in publishing seems inspired by something other than the ambition to add a mite to the measure of the U.S. press. Of the three men, only Greenspun can claim any newspaper experience. But all three are disappointed politicians. Republican Hank Greenspun took a flyer at the governorship of Nevada in 1962 and was ignominiously shot down in flames. In 1948 and again in 1950, Cattleman Smith unsuccessfully sought the nomination as Democratic candidate for Arizona Governor-and in neither case did he get any help from Phoenix's two Republican papers. Last year Mecham, running against Arizona...
