With one of the nation's highest tuitions ($1,680), Bard can squeeze little more out of its students, whose total costs per year are now a hefty $2,500. Last week Bard's onetime parent, Columbia, calmly turned the trick by boosting college tuition 21% to $1,450. Reason: "the imperative need" for increasing faculty salaries. A Columbia full professor's minimum pay will now climb...
Patty's voice is almost as versatile as Anne's; she supplied the young boy's tones for Playwright Gibson's recorded offstage "voices." Although she turns 13 this week-notwithstanding the pressagentry that kept her ten years old for three years-Patty backstage is still often the grade-school child, an inveterate lap sitter. Onstage she is a polished professional who can think on her feet. Once, when a set door stuck and Anne Bancroft swore helplessly under her breath, Patty promptly began making her "noises," the grunts of the speechless, to cover Anne...
...wealthy woman now, with a $150,000-a-year income, but she gets only a $50-a-week allowance from her business manager.

But she strives mightily to make herself over, with psychiatry, acting lessons, voice lessons (she hopes to do a musical next).

It seems almost by design that she has little time left for dates, except for her platonic friendship with the Three Bears-the fatherly trio of Penn, Coe and Gibson-and with a couple of boys from the Actors...
...president within four years, its ex-chairman three years later. When NBC's President Robert Kintner (TIME, Nov. 16) began his TV career by assuming high office at ABC, his fingers were still sore from five years as a Washington columnist. Louis George Cowan, until last week president of the CBS-TV network, seemed to fit the pattern. Although he was a highly successful independent TV packager, Cowan moved into the upper echelons of CBS-TV four years ago, largely because of the sudden success of a single, Cowan-made show: $64,000 Question...
