Once again, the President passed up a chance to point to specific areas where he thought welfare-state spending might be trimmed back. He did say that a lot of money might be saved in national defense by eliminating "duplications" and by seeing to it that missiles and other new weapons systems "displace" older systems, not just "supplement" them. But when asked to name other good places to save money, the President lamely replied that he saw "no reason why we should spare any place, because I think every place we are spending too much money...

...circulation going. Cinemelon Anita Ekberg had just slumped with exhaustion after dropping a shoulder strap in a loamy cha-cha-cha, and now a Turkish bellydancer was grinding away at Anita's challenge: "Let's see you do better." She did. With fundamental gesture-and no clothing save a pair of black lace panties-Haisch Nanah, 24, turned U.S. Socialite Peter Howard's birthday party for an Italian countess into haischish. Luckily, the poliziotti showed up before the 200 guests could succumb to Roman fever. Said the Vatican's L'Osservatort-Romano next...

...domestic small talk or campus chatter. So much single-mindedness, so many double meanings have a way-despite occasionally funny lines-of seeming both tedious and tawdry. Where The Marriage-Go-Round is not a Junoesque strip-tease on Actress Newmar's part, it becomes an attempted script-save on Colbert's and Boyer's.

What they give instead is an illustrated lecture-on the art of timing, of diversionary tactics, of seeming to fondle dialogue while carefully holding...
