...testing net phrases for their reviews. They speed-reed their programs and eat chocolates. They compare quotations: Birdfoot's review that was completely reproduced in neon, for instance. "Oh that thing, yes, I just happen to have a couple of color transparencies of it here in my pocket." Robert Vaughn, in little soloquies complete with Shakespearean intonation, worries about his rivals Higgs (first string) and Puckeridge (third string). Michael Egan, tremendous and goateed, is perfect for the lecherous Birdfoot...
...what was observed by several individuals at the scene of a crime, and the discussion of whether it was, say, a black minstrel with one leg or a white-bearded old man with a "seeing-eye tortoise" is pursued in tightly logical but ridiculous dialogue at which Robert Vaughn and Katherine McGrath, as a pair of entertainers just back from an exhibit of Magritte paintings, excel.

Portrait: The Man from Independence. Robert Vaughn plays the young Harry Truman, putting his life on the line to fight corruption in Missouri.

Associate Artists Opera, at the Boston Center for the Arts. Tonight and Saturday, February 16, 8 p.m. Some rush seats...
...that preceded her. (I can't tell you so awful much about that; you'll have to get them on the radio.) She started out not in Nashville but in a place called Covina, California, where she taught elementary school for five years under the unmusical name of Yvonne Vaughn, and started writing songs to make herself into Donna Fargo. Only when she made it big did she quit and come East live in Nashville...
