Her eyes; targets held er by imported mink eyelashes long as shish kebobs, are Timex alarji clocks. Her real hair, which nobody has ever seen and which she describes as "the color of a dead mouse," is imprisoned under one of her yellow cot-toacandy wigs. Her mouth is wide and red as a strawberry pie, her face is pure Cinemascope, and someone has sewn a huge valentine heart -upside down on the seat of her pants. Mettveen the lines by Clarence Metcalfe "Pierre Berton's The" Great Debate is rapidly becoming one of Global TV's best programs.

The only disconcerting aspect is that Pierre and his producer, Elsa Franklin are doing some fancy footwork, juggling guests and debate 'subjects to be as timely as possible.

The usually attractive actress never looked Worse. Her hair was held up with a string, her dress looked like a tired accordion, her bobby socks were dusty and her sneakers were badly in jieed of a bath. Cloris had an uncanny feeling for the role.
