Sunday in New York is another brightly salacious Hollywood comedy about the way of a man with a maid who just may. "This motion picture," leers an announcement flashed on the screen as a teaser, "is dedicated to the proposition that every girl gets . . . sooner or later." As usual, winking wickedness turns out to be mostly eyewash, but the plot-more to be pitied than censored-gets a buoyant lift from Stars Jane Fonda, Cliff Robertson and Rod Taylor. All three abandon themselves to the film version of Norman Krasna's trite Broadway farce with disarming faith, as though...
...Manhattan artist who has done one previous cover for TIME, Britain's Princess Margaret (Nov. 7, 1955). The room is the Kochs' bedroom at their country home on Long Island; the models were an art gallery director who is a friend of the Kochs', and a maid in their employ. Painter Koch (pronounced coke), whose wife is Dora Zaslavsky, a teacher of concert pianists, is perhaps best known for his portraiture, but he has dealt sensitively and often with what he calls "the man-woman theme...
...newspapers. The only industry to speak of is the Federal Government-which does not advertise. To snare what ad accounts there are-mostly from local merchants and department stores-a daily in the nation's capital must appeal to a broad readership: the lady and her maid, the U.S. Senator as well as the unknown worker in Washington's vast army of civil servants.

The Post says that it carries more comic strips than any other newspaper...
...Playwright as Label. The one-halfmanship of buying a playwright's brand name on a piece of inferior work is illustrated by Jean Genet's The Maids. Two maids (Lee Grant and Kathleen Widdoes) dress up in their mistress' finery and plot her murder by poisoning her tea. The mistress (Eunice Anderson) avoids drinking the tea. One maid commits suicide, and the other expects to hang. For Genet, the theater is an instrument of the outcast's fantasized revenge: his characters ritually murder the authority they hate and envy by donning the vestments of the powers...
There was a two-wheeled bicycle, a box marked "John's Toys-N Street," pink and blue covered parakeet cages, hatboxes, a generous supply of French wines, and a bulging briefcase bearing the initials J.F.K. A maid arrived, carrying an armload of White House guidebooks. A Washington florist delivered yellow chrysanthemums. Then, just after 1 p.m., a black White House limousine arrived, and out stepped Jackie, Caroline and John Jr. Accompanying them were Bobby and Ethel Kennedy, who chatted for half an hour, then left Jackie smiling at the front door...
