...individual stars are David Rawle as the beatnik son of the hoods' boss and Brian Doyle as a female soc rel researcher doing her master's on deviant behavior (trying to get the "scoop on the loop," as Rawle says). In the second act these two put on a marvelous song and dance called the "Planned Obsolescence Mambo." Rawle also has two excellent duets with John TenBrook, as Tuesday Kowalczyk (a muscular lady cop).

For if she does, the easy-to-copy dress should keep the dressmakers busy...
...letters took up matters of such moment. John Fitzgerald Kennedy wrote in praise of the campaign efforts of Democratic National Committee Chairman Henry ("Scoop") Jackson; Brother Bobby Kennedy had words of praise for California's nonpolitical Community Service Organization for getting out the Spanish-speaking vote. Sam Goldwyn, Gore Vidal, Jack Paar and William Saroyan all ticked off TIME on matters of personal privilege. Last month eight writers and critics (James Baldwin, Jason Epstein, Lillian Hellman, Alfred Kazin, Robert Lowell, Norman Podhoretz, Lionel Trilling, William Phillips) collaborated in a letter in defense of the literary reputation of Fellow Writer...
