...playlet, there is precious little mating or dancing. Johnny (Gerald S. O'Loughlin) and Wilma (Renee Taylor) have one of those marriages that resemble the state of chastity. This night, Wilma wants sex. But there is no love for Johnny, an advertising salesman who has just lost the Xerox account. As the pair bicker and belt each other a la Edward Albee's Virginia Woolf, it soon becomes clear that Wilma is twice the man Johnny is. Long ago, she kicked the living libido...

...Xerox, which turns out yearly profit records with the regularity of its own copiers, seems well on its way to its 16th straight mark. For the second quarter, earnings came to $28 million-a full 22% over the $23 million of the first quarter. All Chairman C.
