...York, a bachelor dentist named Julian Winston (Walter Matthau) enjoys the benefits of a towheaded gamine, Toni Simmons (Goldie Hawn). How can he elude the marriage trap?

This year." he added, "I'll be taking initiatives." Pierre Elliott Trudeau was still working at that resolution last week; he flew to New York for two weekend dates with Singer Barbra Streisand. There was dinner and dancing on Friday night, the Polish Lab Theater on Sunday, and a barrage of questions from gossip columnists. How serious was it? When newsmen asked that question...
