...impossible to decide who gets top honors among the cast. Jill Saxon's portrayal of Constance Neville is clearly the work of a natural comedienne; her timing is excellent, so that her sardonic asides and arch remarks on the mistakes of the night come off brilliantly. Charlotte Eakin as Miss Hardcastle, the "bar-maid," and Steve Botein as her father, imposing and imposed upon, give less consistent performances, but their roles are much longer and more difficult. Miss Eakin is troubled by her voice, which sometimes seems in danger of climbing so high it will disappear...
...strippers strip and strip. Ann Corio re-creates her "parade strip," fragrant in the memories of generations of Harvard graduates who used to attend her frequent symposia at Boston's Old Howard. When hefty Dolores Du Vaughan* undulates out of her costume and starts to give the proscenium arch the business, there are howls of "More, more!" from the audience...
...G.O.P. gerrymander a decade ago, found his twelve new rural Illinois counties too much ground to cover, lost to freshman Republican Paul Findley. West Virginians seemed to resent all the outside help received by Bailey, an eight-termer, including stumping by Kennedy and Truman. They rallied behind underdog Arch Moore Jr., 39, to give him a 32,000-vote victory despite a 51,000 Democratic registration edge. Santangelo's East Harlem district was knocked out by the legislature, and he never had much chance of dislodging five-term Republican Paul A. Fino in The Bronx...
...literal message of God. But in the denomination's seminaries, many teachers accept the evidence of modern scholarship that the Bible, while spiritually as valid as ever, is historically of mixed accuracy. This view is hardly shocking to 20th century Presbyterians or Episcopalians, but to the arch-conservative literalists who control the Southern Baptist Convention it is about as welcome as incense at Wednesday evening prayer meeting...
...Goldwater conservative, seems ahead. But Mack is durable: when another G.O.P. legislature gerrymandered his district a decade ago he won anyway. In West Virginia, eight-term Democrat Cleveland M. Bailey, 76, has a new district that gives him a 50,000 registration advantage. But middle-roading G.O P Congressman Arch A. Moore Jr., 39, has won the endorsement of some labor groups, even a few Democratic leaders. A Democratic legislature in North Carolina threw the state's 4 only Republican Congressman, Charles R. Jonas, into a new district with Democratic Representative A. Paul Kitchin. The race is as close...
