Brain on Ice. If other diplomats shivered at the prospect of another shoe-thumping tantrum, the Assembly's new president, Pakistan's spade-bearded Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan, 69, showed last week that he was not about to take any guff. Told by the Russians that the General Committee, of which he is chairman, was "debasing its dignity," Zafrulla Khan retorted coolly: "The committee is the guardian of its own dignity and well able to take care...
...once bopped him. Not so for Cinema Scion Arthur Loew Jr., 35, who was rushed to the emergency room of the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital to have nine stitches taken in his profile after the quick-firing actress slung a snifter of brandy at him during a similar tantrum at a Hollywood restaurant "because Arthur kept needling me." After filing a criminal assault report, which he later declined to press, Loew maintained that Miss Laurent's charms escaped him. "She has reddish hair," he said, "and I don't remember the color of her eyes...
...years ago, dolling! I didn't know vat I vas doing! I vas still just a little Hungarian teen-ager," said a contrite Zsa Zsa Gabor in her heaviest sour-cream accent. Back in 1945, the most visible of Mamma Gabor's three girls had tossed a tantrum in Manhattan's El Morocco nightclub, wound up spitting in Owner John Perona's face, and was banned forevermore from the zebra-striped benches.

Nevertheless, Mr. Pati knows what he is about, and plays the difficult role of cuckold disabused and reabused with an appropriate balance of tantrum and tears. The supporting players acquit themselves in good style, especially Louis Ponderoso as Boubouroche's card-partner, Potasse, and Karen Lee Monko, the barmaid Amedee. Nobody, I am sure, would have preferred Courteline's original Amedee--a waiter--to Miss Monko's bouncy, blonde and bright-eyed ingenue...
...such swashbuckling company, Stan Musial seems pleasantly out of place-living proof that nice guys do not necessarily finish last. Nobody has ever seen him sulk or throw a tantrum. Unlike Ruth, he has never punched a cop. Unlike Cobb, he has never attacked a crippled heckler in the stands. Unlike Wagner, he has never stuffed a ball into a base runner's teeth. He is, says ex-Teammate Joe Garagiola, a "saint with money." Only once, in 1959, has he openly disputed an umpire's call. The ump's reaction was hilarious-he gaped at Musial...
