Nudity, Midis Women’s Lib When a celebrity calls a news conference, the a ffa ir is some thing like the kabuki theater or perhaps Minnie P earl’ s routines on Grand Ole Opry - a classic pattern of questions and re sponses. So it was when Joan Crawford waded Into a hotel suite across a floor covered with broadcas te rs ’ cords, those um bllicals which link camera to sound to question-asker.

She took her place ai a table under the lights and as soon as an aluminum can of Pepsi was placed on the table before her, the session began.

Left dangling was the question of whether Miss Crawford ever could have been the symliol of corporate power in the Pepsi Cola structure were she not the widow of the form er board chairman. But le t’ s dash on to other subjects of cosmic consequence, such as her opinion on head lines. " I f you got ’em, show ’e m ," she advised. Now Mae West would have said that.
