IPHIGENIA IN AULIS. Euripides' parable of disastrous ambition is charged with timeless emotion, and Director Michael Cacoyannis keeps this production in swirling, stylized motion. Greek Actress Irene Papas brings to her role of Clytemnestra a smoldering tension that erupts in a cry expressing the pain of a woman whose husband destroys their daughter for his own ends...
Elizabeth Taylor? "She looks like two small boys fighting under a mink blanket," says Hollywood Designer Mr. Blackwell, 42, creator and promoter of the annual Worst-Dressed Woman Awards.

It appeared under a headline reading THE OTHER WOMAN IN THE LIFE OF HAROLD WILSON, with a picture of Wilson, Mrs. Wilson and his personal political secretary, Mrs. Marcia Williams. Miss Lewis wrote that "during the Profumo scandal, the Tories' Quintin Hogg nearly brought the House down when he tried to defend Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, saying he didn't understand the fuss about Profumo's private life, since there were 'adulterers on the Opposition front bench.'
