...exact, proper tilt. Since very few mortals were capable of her degree of dedication, the turnover among Arden employees was a byword in Manhattan career circles; but her exacting policies made great sense to her customers. Inside her salons (now numbering 50 in 33 countries), she similarly tried to perfect the Total Woman-physically, mentally and emotionally-by having her rubbed, scrubbed, pounded, patted, stretched, scented, oiled, tinted, and occasionally encased from tip to toe in paraffin...
...directorial debut, Actor Alan Arkin (Luv, The Russians Are Coming) snake-dances the cast through this gorgeous farce and produces sight gags to match the early silent two-reelers.

Nobody is perfect, after all-and problems have a way of working out. If an industrial giant (presented as a TIME cover subject) keeps a mistress, she is apt to be a glorious scatterbrain who ultimately meets a fellow of her own age and sends the giant back to his wife...
...sense of individual responsibility to an amorphous "public" pervades the Committee's entire report. Paul C. Reardon was the perfect man to direct such an undertaking. A former Justice of the state Superior Court, he stands above Massachusetts politics as a dedicated public servant, almost a modern philosopher-king...
