...these two were not so smashing, someone might have wondered what a prom was doing in the middle of the Olympics, or whether there would be a cotillion at the Summer Games. Their lovely exhibition upstaged much of the serious skating ahead and showed how joyless that can be. Not the usual word applied to Scott Hamilton, 25, a happy little dynamo who looks as though he fell off a charm bracelet. Yet it fitted even him. He won the gold medal, but with a wistful shrug said he always imagined it would be "more special." A miscalculation, evidently, involving...
...cars and faster girls. Hugh Hefner (Played with den-mother benevolence by pajama-clad Cliff Robertson) is Snider's Buddha, and the Playboy Mansion his sensualist's nirvana. He impresses Dorothy with his tacky style; he gives her a real two-carat topaz; he escorts her to her senior prom in a ruffled sky-blue tuxedo.

It was, for one thing, the first time since the Caucus was founded twelve years ago that the guys had come to their party...
...personality has been threatening to go splitsville ever since he was saddled with the alter ego of Clark Kent, ace reporter and consummate nerd of the Daily Planet. Clark is every clumsy, sweet-souled teen-age boy who ever fantasized scoring the big touchdown or scoring with the prom queen; Superman is the 6-ft. 4-in. embodiment of that dream. This man is both men, hulk and hunk, and no telephone booth is big enough to house the inherent contradictions...
