Chomping a fat cigar and wearing an authentic-looking paunch, Actor Richard Burton has been rehearsing for his Hallmark Hall of Fame role as Sir Winston Churchill, which will be televised in November. A devoted Churchill fan, Burton owns a pair of Winnie's cuff links and has a framed telegram from him on his wall. In the past year alone, he has read a score of books and articles on his idol. Burton's assessment: "He was the best actor of our times -playing himself, of course...

His 185 Ibs. are evenly distributed over his 5-ft. 10-in. frame, and there is no hint of a paunch.

We compared notes on dates and places in the Army; we had overlapped in Vietnam but were never...
...served while-u-wait. She is working eight hours a day in a starched white uniform and a red-checkered apron, and she lives above the restaurant with the manager. He is 45 and divorced, a Methodist believer who neither drinks or smokes. He is balding with a budding paunch, he likes the movies, reads little, and drives a shark blue Dodge Dart. She cleans his place and cooks for him after work when they tire of Purple Pickle fare, and she rarely leaves the building. She seeks out no one from her past...
