...professed to be sickened by TV's cowardly bondage to image and ratings. He felt that he was always at a disadvantage because he is bald ("You can't do anything unless it appeals to teen-agers"), although it apparently never disturbed him enough to make him wear a toupee. There was also the matter of being a Jew. Television networks, he implied, are keenly sensitive to the notion that there ought to be a balance of faiths among performers, especially since so many Jews seem to be in the entertainment business...
...undoubtedly ready for it anyway, but Hefner seized the moment. He was the first publisher to see that the sky would not fall and mothers would not march if he published bare bosoms; he realized that the old taboos were going, that, so to speak, the empress need wear no clothes. He took the oldfashioned, shame-thumbed girlie magazine, stripped off the plain wrapper, added gloss, class and culture. It proved to be a surefire formula, which more sophisticated and experienced competitors somehow had never dared contemplate...

The only change he can make in the Celtics is a change for the worse. So when people...
...technical side of the show which does most to sustain the humor. Suzy Colgate's makeup is animalian without being grotesque. Toad's mouth and eyes are precisely that (though some credit must be given to the natural bent of Sansone's mouth); evil animals properly wear black masks. Electa Kane's costume are rich, correct (though her triumph--a weasel disguised as a notebook-paper-eared hare--is rightfully neither) and show off brightly under Steve Nightingale's clean, clear lighting which even does wonders for the slightly unsettling coloration of the overly chunky...
