Then last week the A.P. sent out the captioned picture below showing Miss Paik of Pyongyang, sergeant in the Communist "Reception Personnel", with a copy of TIME'S July 23 issue opened to the story about her. "Pert in an olive jacket and blue skirt" (as the story described her), she had said that she wanted a unified Korea, then discreetly smiled off a question about who should run it. Perhaps this story about her is not the only reason for her intent look. On that same page a picture box reported thousands of South Koreans demonstrating against...

...look the part. As Patty, Barbara Bel Geddes (rhymes with wed us) looks and talks more like a Bryn Mawr graduate (which she is not) than the cop's daughter she plays, and more like Barbara Bel Geddes than either. In the navy blue pullover sweater, plain skirt, saddle shoes and white dickey collar which she wears about town almost as a uniform, she could easily be confused with a well-scrubbed Connecticut schoolgirl off to the movies...
