...play within the play, which ends with the death of Marat. He is stabbed in his tub by the patriot Charlotte Corday, who has spent the rest of the evening trying to dodge the gross advances of an indefatigable satyr who has his hand under a nun's skirt as the play ends...
Died. Harpo Marx, 75, wackiest and most wonderful of the four Marx Brothers, a master of madhouse pantomime in battered plug hat and shocking pink wig, whose endless trove of sight gags (a skirt needs straightening? Whee! Cut it off.) and leering, horn-honking, pinching pursuit of squeaking blondes kept a generation of Americans in helpless laughter-and a thousand comedians trying to top him; following heart surgery; in Hollywood. Behind the idiot grin, Harpo (real name: Adolph) was a witty, gentle soul, married to one woman for life, and the doting father of four adopted children; he was also...
From Pomona, Calif., to Poughkeepsie, N.Y., the girls and their wardrobes are the snazziest in years.

...tore holes that left a knitted overblouse looking like supersized Swiss cheese, showed a G-string bikini beneath to any mouse man enough to peep. Glans left only two prim pockets on an otherwise totally transparent shirt. Veneziani attached five-inch-wide suspenders to the waist of a party skirt and called it an evening gown; Princess Irene Galitzine cut a V that kept going, fore and aft, out of a sleek leopard-printed swimsuit. Baldini decorated a perfectly modest little bathing suit with two prominent painted breasts. And Frederico Forquet un-topped them all with a full-length strapless...
