...that's deadly, except perhaps to an audience of bearded ladies. Actress Reynolds, more manic than manly, spouts oddly androgynous jokes about her Jockey shorts, recalls the harem of floozies she and Tony were "making out with" not so long ago, even lewdly ogles the women in a plush beauty salon. While Tony skitters about, fighting the impulse to take his best friend in his arms and kiss him, Charlie wards off the advances of Pat Boone (sacred love) and Walter Matthau (profane).

Lerner, she says, spends little precious time at home, and when the millionaire lyricist cut off all her charge accounts around town, his lady finally said no fair. As a counterploy she locked him out on the street where...
Sensible Change. President Abernethy has done what he could to liven up AMC autos by adding plush touches to the interiors of his cars, bringing out an optional V-8 engine for the Ambassador and Classic, and introducing a limited-production Typhoon sports car that is powered by a spirited, brand-new six-cylinder engine. But Abernethy's first real chance to reverse AMC's decline comes this fall with the introduction of the first models for which he is responsible. The big change: the Ambassador has been redesigned and enlarged to compete with the Big Three...
