SHAKESPEARE, and Abe Burrows don't have a hell of a lot in common: even Veriety admits that. But Shakespeare, like Burrows, occasionally worked as a play doctor, called in to liven up a closing act that didn't work, to throw in a few good lines here and there. Somebody, nobody knows quite who, once called him in to patch up a dreadful little play about an exiled Greek prince, and the result is now known as The Tragedy of Pericles, Prince of Tyre...
...good old "Abe" Muskie is reported to be the favorite of the LBJ-Mayor Daley-John Connally axis of the Democratic Party. Texans Johnson and Connally understand oil-and I'm sure Muskie is willing to learn...
Nixon's surrogate in this enterprise ?and the man who must actually wield the guns on the way out of the bar?is General Creighton W. ("Abe") Abrams, 56, the U.S. commander in Viet Nam. A veteran tank commander with a jut-jawed, no-nonsense air, Abrams is pursuing a strategy of withdrawal that would be familiar to any student of cavalry operations: give way gradually but strike continually at the enemy, harass his troops, destroy his supplies and keep him off balance. Moreover, Abrams is trying to replace U.S. ground forces with U.S. planes and South Vietnamese soldiers...

In massing troops near the Ho Chi Minh Trail last week, the U.S. commander was obeying his long-felt...
...stuff of enduring or brilliant comedy, admittedly, but each a far, far better thing than Abe Burrows has done this time around in substantially reworking Garden from Barillet and Gredy, the original French authors of all three plays. Here are four different sex skits pasted together, each starring Carol Channing and Sid Caesar. In one, Caesar is a house painter and Channing a monied, molting society lovebird who is having the apartment redone for her cynical young lover. Guess who gets to use the bed? In another skit Caesar is a gamy garment-district mogul who sweeps Channing...
