George of Beverly Hills wears his own hair on the longish side, but cautions women against too much hair-fullness. "Women." he says, "should look like little European boys. Their hair should be short and cropped. Any woman who will not wear her hair that way is basically very insecure. And Kenneth, with his big poufy bouffant jobs, is just too jazzy for me".

Like many another kid in West New York, N. J., Alfred Siefker, 17, wears a longish haircut, low-slung pegged trousers and a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. The style suggests the drugstore cowboy, but under the disguise Alfred practices a different skill. He is already a dedicated scientist who has just rewritten a chapter of paleontology...

Music formed a greater part of the fabric of Aubade, a play which might conceivably have been composed as an oversize operatic scena. Mr. Ziskin wrote two longish preludes, a good-sized postlude, and supported the heroine enthusiastically during her moments of crisis. The style ranged from jagged dissonance (which was not too successful) to rapid-fire splashes of delicious French harmony, which Mr. Ziskin handles with great verve...
