...Hollywood. Elizabeth Taylor spent the summer in town with The Little Foxes, and this fall a quartet of grandes dames will lend their incandescence to the stage: Katharine Hepburn in The West Side Waltz, Claudette Colbert in A Talent for Murder, Anne Bancroft in Duet for One, Joanne Woodward as Shaw's Candida. And then, and always, there are the musicals. At least 16 have been announced, including one potential gem that begins previews next week: Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along, directed by Hal Prince and based on the 1934 Kaufman and Hart comedy. With Company, Follies...
...buyers, land leasing can reduce the down payment on a house and thus make a purchase possible. In the Woodward Co.'s new Park Lane development in Carlsbad, Calif., for example, a two-bedroom house costs $127,990 when sold conventionally.

Coleman's was: "If we did not nominate the story, there would have been questions asked." Bradlee, who had ardently defended the story to all comers, insisted to the ombudsman that he had heard no reservations whatsoever about it from his staff. Howard Simons, the managing editor, said, "I had reason to doubt, but no reason to disbelieve. And Woodward supported the nomination thoroughly...
After the initial celebrations at the Post over its 17th Pulitzer came word of Cooke's false academic credentials and the first real cross-examining of her. It got rough. Bradlee: "You're like Richard Nixon-you're trying to cover up." Woodward: "It's all over. You've got to come clean." After hours of grilling in a conference room, she confided her guilt to one sympathetic editor, and the others were brought back in. As the ombudsman reported the scene, "Each editor hugged and kissed her. 'I'm sorry...
