...mock security council, which included 15 of the 60 delegations present for the conference, was chaired by Michael L. Steven, a Harkness Fellow at the Law School, who was a legal adviser to the British U.N. delegation for the 26th General Assembly last fall...
Isotoners come in several colors, have scoop or mock-turtle necks and are meant to be worn like any body suit. Prices: $45 for the turtle neck, $35 for the scoop, $35 for the bottoms. Four-ounce refills of the cream are $8.50. The company recently introduced two-piece body suits for men, and this spring will place on sale a "safari" model with short sleeves, club collar and front pockets. Designer Cardinali has sketched "couture" print evening body suits for fall, and Geoffrey Beene already has a collection of separates designed to go with the Isotoner...
MOST OF THE TWENTIETH lot is gone now, gradually sold off in chunks to real estate developers so as to raise money for further production. The small remaining piece of land is jammed with old sets and mock-ups haphazardly clumped together, waiting mutely for a last chance to burst into life on film.

This new set of close-ups weakens the film's attempted verisimilitude and should quietly be returned to the censor's vault...
...PROMISE made, Yevtushenko bowed himself aside. Out of the wings and into the light stepped an actor by the name of Barry Boys who read the first poem of the evening. "The Stage," in English. Barry Boys looked like a mock, effeminate Paladin, if you can imagine such a creature, in his black slacks and black dueling shirt; every time a dramatic gesture was forthcoming, he took a gun fighter's stance. His delivery was like that of a turbid Shakespearian actor, Edwin Booth, perhaps, at the Ford Theater. Barnum and Bailey could have found a better barker. Who sold...
