...uncommon man sans imperfection. "I stay away from nuances," he says. "From psychoanalyst-couch scenes. Couches are good for one thing only." As Wayne sees film heroism, "Paul Newman would have been a much more important star if he hadn't always tried to be an antihero, to show the human feeta clay." No one will ever see Wayne's feeta clay?and no one wants to. His politics seem to date from the Jurassic period, and from other men they might appear dangerous. But as expressed by the Duke they are the privately held opinions of a public...

...response to Hee Haw seemed ho-hum in Nashville-the holy see of Grand Ole Opry and country show biz -then it seemed likely that the cast would be greeted anywhere else in America by bags of chicken feathers and cauldrons of tar.

As a summer substitute, Hee Haw will go off the air Sept. 7, but its extraordinary Nielsen rating makes the show a likely CBS replacement for January dropouts. Apparently, many American viewers are fed up with the "crisis of the cities" programming that fills the TV news, and are seeking solace in the eternal verities -and inanities-of the country...

Klee-Like Fabrics. For decolletage, Courreges stole the show. To go with his miniskirts held up by suspenders, his models displayed bare breasts. Not to be undone, Bohan's girls wore not a single bra and slithered unencumbered about the salon. Hardly unusual, perhaps, but one mannequin, wearing nothing but a black velvet sheath split straight up the front, caused Cecil Beaton to drop his pencil. "She looks as if she left the convent too soon," he gasped...
