...trip is inexpensive-500 each way. It is also quick: 30 minutes pier to pier, and the passengers step off virtually into the heart of San Francisco's business district. On board the commuter's lot is little short of idyllic. City-bound riders, too rushed for breakfast at home, can buy mugs of fresh coffee, homemade blueberry muffins and cupcakes at the snack bar on the second deck. For cyclists there are bike racks below. From the sunny afterdeck, commuters can stare at some of the handsomest scenery in the world-the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito...

...event, the ultimate fate of a play depends on the producer. David Merrick has proved that conclusively by keeping plays alive that every critic has panned. As co-producers of the smash musical Applause, Kipness and Kasha are rolling in money. Kipness is also a restaurant tycoon who owns Pier 52, Hawaii Kai and Dinty Moore's. Yet he and Kasha cravenly folded their theatrical tents in a single night and silently skulked away. Following is an account of the play they killed...
