...secret was so intimate that she confided it to none but the London Daily Mail, the London Daily Sketch and their 3,000,000 readers. After four years of wedlock, Swedish Starlet Britt Eklund, 25, was parting with Comedian Peter Sellers, 42. The frantic pace of traveling with Peter was what did it, she said. "It might sound fabulous, but you can't imagine how exhausting it is transporting a baby, a nanny and all your possessions all over the world.

Nudes also interest Abstractionist Jules Olitski but mainly as an excuse to keep his draftsmanship in shape. Ever so often, a nude model poses for him while he, Critic Clement Greenberg and a couple of friends sketch from life. When Olitski settles down to serious painting, he turns out tinted canvases whose miragelike effects derive from the absence, indeed the positive negation, of the penciled line in any shape or form (see opposite...

What makes its 21/2 hour running-time seem one-tenth as long as the uninhibited zaniness that keeps the performers flying through their material. They do everything and anything. In one sketch, medieval knights running around in cloaks bearing the peace symbol suddenly break into a ludicrous song about a chastity belt. Ten minutes later a thumping South African chant turns into a wild dance accompanied by a myriad of homemade instruments. When they aren't singing, the company takes turns playing whites and blacks shooting each other...
