...would be a mistake to make it into a major scandal." Last week the News asked, "Is it overplayed?" and answered no. Watergate now indicated "a pattern of spying, lying, bribery and payoffs that derogate the entire political system and are unworthy of a great democracy." Even Conservative Columnist William F. Buckley Jr. suggested last week that if Nixon is found guilty of obstructing justice in the case, he ought to be censured by the Congress. Buckley, although he likes Agnew, conceded that impeachment of Nixon would be unfair to all those who would not accept the Vice President...
Mayor of Chicago Richard J. Daley is the stuff political cartoons are made of-and books like Boss, by Chicago Daily News Columnist Mike Royko. When she saw the book for sale, the mayor's wife, "Sis," was so incensed she got one chain of Chicago supermarkets to remove it from its shelves. It was soon put back, however, and it has now been made into a musical that will open in Chicago's suburban Forum Theater next month. Hizzoner is played by Larry Gittelson, who, when he isn't acting, works as a floriculturist with...
...mellow and moist-eyed, Frank Sinatra had finally made it. The Kennedys may have snubbed him because of his underworld connections. Richard Nixon may have regretted his lack of gallantry with Columnist Maxine Cheshire. But now all was forgiven.

Superman is the focal point of everybody's existence: Lois adores him, the populace sing his praises daily, while a jealous scientist and a columnist for The Daily Planet hate him and drive the plot with their attempts to ruin him. Cohen's super-stance is perfect: standing tall, legs apart, fists on hips, he is a monument to ox-like goodness. But his manner has a depth to it that is hard to hide...
...keeping the transitions quick and neat, and with their voices often drowned in loud, sloppy musical accompaniment, all but two performers are less than captivating. These exceptions save the evening, and prove that the entire project is not as overambitious as it appears. Max Mencken, the Planet's gossip columnist, and his secretary Sydney are a corrupt, tawdry couple who are infinitely more attractive than the wooden romancers Superman and Lois Lane. Sydney, played by Jackie Shapiro, seduces Clark Kent like a pro when she sings "You've Got Possibilities" and her mincing walk gives her a convincing and memorable...
