...Karen Wyman (nee Weinman), 17, though barely tall enough to clear a slot machine, played the main room of Las Vegas' Sands the night her class graduated from high school. A demonstration record the year before had won her an appearance on NBC's Dean Martin Show. "From hearing your record," the star told her, "I expected some tall, zoftic girl. Are you a midget?" The 5-ft. 1-in. Karen, having steeled herself to be blasé over meeting "this 52-year-old man," found that "he was gorgeous, and I broke out in hives." Karen...
...Julie Budd (nee Erdman), 16, is a Brooklyn-born toy Streisand, (5 ft. 2½ in.). She has yet to learn to read music and insists that she has never studied voice. Says Julie: "I just open my mouth and sing." Within the three years since she was discovered on an amateur night at a resort in the Catskills, she has appeared on most of the network variety shows, including Merve Griffin for the 34th time last week, and has played Caesars Palace in Vegas with Frank Sinatra. She has a big three-octave range and reaches high C with...
...Alice Playten (nee Plotkin), 22, has emerged as one of Broadway's most felicitous singing actresses. She is best known for her role as the young bride who cooks the tumescent dumpling and muses about marshmallowed meatballs in a much remarked Alka-Seltzer commercial. She grew up-or at least to 4 ft. 10½ in.-in Brooklyn's Flatbush and in Queens.

In universitate Harvardiana, in patria, in orbeterrarum, status feminarum plerumque inferior dudum habetur. Mulieres se contemnere didicerunt. Copiae et honores et titulihominibus dati tamen feminis sunt negati . . . Arma nondum licet deponere, meae sorores, nee proeliurn tarn Ion-gum tamque difficile nobis est relin-quendum. Ubique flagrat iniqua virorum dominatio...
...Your Baby Tonight is there to tell us what Dylan's feeling like since his motorcycle crash and silence for two years. Wicked Messenger reminded me of something that made me wonder why I had never wondered about it before--is Dylan, the folk hero of the new generation (nee Robert Zimmerman) Jewish? Wicked Messenger is a parable for Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt; the song echoes Dylan's earlier messages of the importance of believing in something and working with pepole. He is Jewish; about two years ago there was a press report that he was back...
