Despite Poppins' success, Julie fretted "that everybody will think I'm a square." It was a fair fret: they did. Suddenly Americans saw her, says Carol Burnett, as "Gwendolyn Goody Two-shoes." Julie began to worry about being typecast, doomed to be always the governess, never the mistress. She saw the humor in the sudden rash of bumper stickers: MARY POPPINS is A JUNKIE (her friend Mike Nichols affixed one to her car), but it didn't console her much at all.

Practically everyone connected with the cover story was typecast for the job. Bonn Bureau Chief Herman Nickel was born in Berlin, has been covering Germany for four years. He was able to get a 45-minute interview with Kiesinger an hour after he took the oath of office-the first interview granted by the new Chancellor.

As for McShane himself, Acting Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach calls him "typecast" for the job. "I have never seen him falter under any kind of fire," says Katzenbach. "I always have the feeling about Jim that he takes his oath of office all over every morning...
EAST SIDE, WEST SIDE (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). Borrowing perhaps from Hamlet, this segment has a TV-show-within-a-TV-show, featuring a rare acting appearance by E.S.,W.S.'s Executive Producer David Susskind, who is typecast as a TV panel moderator. It apparently failed, however, to catch the conscience of King David-he and CBS have since abandoned the entire series. Repeat...
