...major league baseball season opened in California last week-and so did Democrat Edmund ("Pat") Brown's campaign for re-election as Governor. At a breakfast rally in San Francisco's Civic Center Auditorium, Brown wound up and let fly with the political season's longest metaphor. Cried he of Republican Opponent Richard Nixon. "You've seen the scouting reports on the opposition. You know you can look for a lot of low, inside curves and some hot ones down the foul line.

She took on the part a week ago--a situation comparable to your kid brother's meeting Khrushchev at the Summit. Admit it. Your kid brother couldn't end the Cold War. Miss Fay, however, very nearly brings off her role with eclat. As it is, she has enough poise and charm to cover up an occasional fluff or to make you forget the juicy lines she lets slip by from lack of rehearsal.
