...script, which sometimes rises to the level of banality, suggests-even in the title-much more than is seen. The result is often unintended humor. Vera, the sexy 40-year-old, sits up in bed with her uncovered back to the audience and says to her husband, who is standing naked against the wall: "Harry, you could get arrested for what you just did." "Love," says Harry, "can make you do strange things." Replies the violated Vera, with almost maidenly temper: "Give me hate any time...
More controversial was the report of Dr. M. Vera Peters, of Toronto's Princess Margaret Rose Hospital, on simpler surgery for early breast cancer. Dr. Peters told a meeting at the Indiana School of Medicine that doctors should attempt the most conservative procedures possible "in order to preserve the patient's morale."

...also be musical. The closest thing possible, in other words, to a Leonard Bernstein. Right now that just happens to be Ozawa, a Bernstein protege whom Lenny first heard in 1960 and later hired as assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic. Married to a former Tokyo model named Vera, and the father of a baby girl born in December, Ozawa is as hip as can be. At a recent recital by Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, Ozawa, still sporting his familiar Beatle hairdo, wore a red turtleneck and carried a leather purse on a longish strap.
