...DAVID HOCKNEY, 27, looks as improbable as a figure in one of his own paintings. His fastback hair is peroxide blond, his eyes peep owlishly through black spectacles, and occasionally he sports a gold-lamé dinner jacket. Yorkshire-born Hockney's first one-man show in Manhattan was a sellout when it opened last week. His painting, a poetic blend of childish innocence and sophisticated whimsicality, is often dominated by an edgy displacement of figures in space. His bite is sharp in 16 etchings for The Rake's Progress, a series on his adventures in Manhattan, inspired...
...growing restiveness and had several times .before talked him out of resigning, gruff C. R. Smith, 65, seemed caught by surprise. He did not even have time to pick a successor. For the time being, in effect, Smith reassumed the presidency himself, and American returned to being the one-man show that it had been for years...

The Tories in contrast intend to run as a team, giving Sir Alec's Cabinet ministers as much exposure as possible to emphasize the quality and depth of the Tory front bench against what they already are calling Labor's "one-man band...
...those merry mischiefmakers, the editorial cartoonists, Lyndon Johnson's prefabricated one-man show in Atlantic City was a target too good to miss. They didn't miss. Paul Conrad, the Los Angeles Times's skillful puncturer, managed to get in two telling darts: one showed Johnson surrounded by a host of his own images on TV screens-and fuming because one of the sets showed an interloping Yogi Bear. In the other Conrad cartoon, a complacent President patted himself on the back while informing the nation: "Extremism in defense of my program is no vice; and moderation...
