This pair, both Americans, illustrate Powell's penchant for isolating national and temperamental types. Glober is a sixtyish, playboy film producer, a self-made man up from Jewish-immigrant slums, who takes a snippet of pubic hair from every woman he seduces. Gwinnett is a withdrawn, thirtyish academic, a descendant of Button Gwinnett, the first signer of the Constitution, who has a whiff of necrophilia in his makeup.

Still pretty, single and thirtyish, Mary is no longer the Doris Day-Julie Andrews brand of antiseptic woman. This year's Mary is even a little naughty. On one recent show she kissed a boy friend (Jerry Van Dyke) rather soulfully while in the newsroom. On another she spent the night at some fellow's pad, to the vocal dismay of her mother (Nanette Fabray). Judging from...
