...play-and the role-could hardly be more distant from Scofield's last two productions, Shakespeare's Timon of Athens and Gogol's The Government Inspector. Staircase is an offbeat black comedy about a homosexual "marriage"; Scofield plays a middle-aged barber; his partner is Patrick Magee, who played Sade in the London and Broadway companies of Marat /Sade...
...because London tailors are finding the U.S. market increasingly lucrative. At least 15 West End firms now sedately barnstorm the major cities twice a year, fall and spring, showing swatches, taking measurements and writing orders. Last week the last of the year's traveling tailors (usually a partner or a director) had packed up their sample cases and returned to London.

Loss of the Test. Attorney Frederick Cone, a partner of famed Tort Lawyer Melvin Belli, sought to prove that the kind of help rendered by Whittaker was standard. The defense involved the showing of models and color slides of gory operations, and the calling of big-name medical witnesses. A key issue was whether Dr. Stevenson had tried to get a licensed physician to assist him, at least in cases other than crash emergencies. Of the three cases before the jury, one was such an emergency. On this and one other count, the jury found both defendants not guilty...
