...Except for a red lei ringing his powerful shoulders, he is either bare from the waist up or all in glistening white, from open velours shirt to tight jeans and stocking feet. In his left hand, he sometimes totes white ankle boots, in the right a snifter of Chivas Regal Scotch. With his tousled hair and sly brown eyes, he has the smirk of a beach bum who owns the passkey to every cabana on the island. Matrons rush onstage to buss him; others in the S.R.O. house palpitate like palm fronds. Don Ho, 37, is the big noise from...
...precinct house where Cabby Smith was booked, became the first target. A brick smashed the unprotected display window; gallons of liquor poured out -into throats, not gutters. From other liquor stores, Negro looters formed human chains that reached clear around corners. They went first for the imported Scotch (Chivas Regal and Johnny Walker Red Label were the preferred brands), then for the bourbons and gins, next for vodka and champagne and-when everything else ran out-for cheap muscatels and cordials. TV stores were hard-hit. "I can get $500 for this color set," exulted one looter...
Local Loyalty. Now Pacific Southwest, which operates entirely inside California, has asked approval to fly the Orange County-San Francisco run, but so far the state has withheld permission. For its part, Air Cal woos local loyalty through such amenities as free airport parking, quality booze (Chivas Regal, Beefeater, Jack Daniel's) for the standard $1 tab, and eye-catching stewardesses' uniforms (orange and ochre with Spanish-style capes and hats). More than half of its stewardesses are Orange County housewives who quit other airlines to marry. They are, of course, happy to fly again with the line...
...wolf named Beclch (Sharon Gans) becomes the vampire queen of an African tribe. She is a voracious, paganly sadistic earth mother; her husband (Jerome Dempsey) is an earthworm. To secure her rise to power, she coaxes him into contracting elephantiasis, which the natives regard as a symbol of regal divinity. He is a king in name and pain only, as she promptly betrays him with a kind of virility totem, a bare-torsoed American from Marlbrando country. Deserted by this lover at play's end, the white queen faces beheading by the tribe...
...role. His home is in Swabia, a good-natured area of Germany that lacks the fierce regional pride that burns so intensely in many parts. He came from a home that was both Lutheran (his father) and Catholic (his stepmother), though he himself is a Catholic today. His regal bearing leads most people to think he is an aristocrat, but he springs, in fact, from a lower-middle-class family, in which he was the eldest of seven children. His father?now a sprightly 90?was a bookkeeper in a textile mill in the town of Ebingen...
