  • It appears that a serial killer is at large in New York’s Greenwich Village. If so, the police are disinterested. Plus ça change. Lord Denning at the Appeal Court cleared ATV’s Warhol documentary – banned by a judge who hadn’t seen it – to go out on ITV, but laid the boot in anyway: it was dreary and dull and appealed only to perverts and homosexuals. Reviews include The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and Merman Sings Merman.

  • “Contrary to gossip, he is not lonely nor oppressed by his mother. His taste is con­trolled, even demure… He is not a homosexual…” – Tony Palmer writing about Liberace in The Observer.

  • Het of the month: Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette
