...initiative for once. For years he had promised to take his wife to see The Mousetrap, which had opened in 1952. He had finally managed to get some tickets -she would be glad to see it before it closed. Afterward they would go to that new American restaurant in Soho-it was said to be splendidly successful in recapturing the mood of old England. Life could be worse...
...church hierarchy supported the referendum, many Catholic priests and laymen feared that repeal would have a sort of moral domino effect, leading the country toward permissiveness and degeneracy. "Do the fathers and mothers of Ireland want to see their children reared in an Irish-type St. Pauli, Soho or Pigalle?" demanded Dublin Accountant Desmond Broadberry, father of 17 children and member of the committee to "Defend 44." (He was referring to the pleasure zones of Hamburg, London and Paris.) "We urge a massive yes to a new Ireland, but no to a Godless Ireland," wrote a group of Catholic students...
Philip Wofford, at 36, is scarcely an abstract painter at all. The pictures in his current exhibition at SoHo's Emmerich Gallery all involve the general experience, if not the detail, of landscape-not as seen by the eye's perspective, with sky at the top and earth below, but as though taken apart and rewoven into an expansive shifting pattern of space.

Having chosen between chicken or beef chop suey and orange or tomato juice, Barrie would resume the conversation he had begun as we walked out of the movie house...
Giant Tent. In an age of super-sophistication, the Now Couple of the late '60s is almost square. Twiggy lives with her parents in a London suburb, and Justin has a fashionably exotic pad near Soho, under the offices of Twiggy Enterprises. In his living room he has draped 300 yds. of hand-blocked Indian fabric to form a giant tent. Beneath the tent are something like 100 cushions for visitors and Justin's small menagerie: a huge Afghan hound named Zaradin, two Persian cats called Buttercup and Jemima and a "plain" cat called Pansy. Twiggy stays...
