He looks relaxed, surprising for a director who has two mulimillion-dollar musicals — Big Deal and Sweet Charity opening in New’ York within three weeks of each other. On the line are at least $7 million and Fosse’s reputation as a hitmaker who directed or choreographed such shows as Danein’, Pippin, The Pajama Game, Damn Yankees, Chicago and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. “T haven't smoked or had a drink for 10 years,” says Fosse, a ruddy-faced man with a salt-and-pepper beard. “I'm trying very hard to be in the best possible condition for a 58-year-old man who has wasted a lot of years drinking and smoking,” he laughs. Fosse has put two of his favorite vices behind him while he concentrates first on Big Deal, a $5 million musical INVITES YOU TO DROP IN OR PHONE FOR AN APPOINTMENT! This Week in DEXTER’S PUB MON.

Dynasty star recalls Burton Actress Catherine Oxen berg says the late Richard Burton “sparked the fantasy of acting” in her as a young: ster, when he dated her mother. “He was a brilliant man and I was fascinated by him,” the Dynasty star says in the May issue of McCall's maga- zine. Oxenberg said Burton also “taught me how to drive his Mercedes when I was 13. “Can you imagine me prop- ped up on six pillows, peering over the steering wheel like a little dwarf?” The actress is the daughter of Princess Elizabeth of Yug: oslavia, but has no title of her own. “I'm very happy about that,” she said. “I think in many ways it’s an obstacle and a hindrance.

At first, he wanted to set it in Tijuana, Mexico. “It was the late ‘60s, and the Tijuana Brass was big. That's the sound I wanted, kind of honky-tonk, tinny, commercial,” he recalls. “One of the subplots in Big Deal on Madonna Street involves a brother who keeps his virginal sister locked up and away from young guys on the make,” Fosse says. “The story worked in Italy and would have worked in Mexico.” The show never got the financing either as a Broadway musical or as a movie. Fosse filed the script away and forgot about it. Two years ago, he rediscovered it and asked himself: “Where else would the story work?” “The Depression,” he answered, “because people needed money.” FASHION EXHIBIT . . .

GARY GEDDES city a ‘jewel ANTHOLOGY CAPTURES SOUL OF VANCOUVER By BURT CAMPBELL Publisher Expo is less than a week away and over the six months of the World's Fair residents of the Kootenays will discover (in most cases, rediscover) reasons'for a love affair with this province's largest city. Vancouver is a jewel among world cities, and works its magic on everyone who comes near it. Gary Geddes, one of Canada’s best known antholo- gists, has collected in Vancouver: Soul of a City (Douglas & Mcintyre, $24.95) some 90 pieces of writing that }capture the soul of our country’s proud _ Pacific metropolis. There is more to Vancouver than a burgeoning skyline, or the way the mountains seem to move closer on clear days, or the fact that the lights on the North Shore really do twinkle across Burrard Inlet at night. There is something about Vancouver that is hard to shake off. Something that has found expression in the * work of generations of artists 4 There are 70 short stories and poems in the book, © ranging from contributions with titles like “Good Company, Fine Houses” through “Laughter on 3rd © Street” to “Prison Report” penned by the likes of Erie g Nicol, Joy Kogowa and, even, Rudyard Kipling. : Some of the authors of these collected works have 2 been long-time residents. Others have © visitors and watchful passersby | Their stories, poems and articles are diverse in many ways, but are united in a sense of place.

McKernan, of the Commercial Crime Division in Nelson, said computer crime is a particular problem for police. + Phete tor Cothtews by Jone Cherters Rotary told crime By JOHN CHARTERS Crime — the white collar type — pays. At least that's the impression from listening to Cpl. Pat McKernan of the RCMP’s Commercial Crime Division. Speaking at the Tuesday dinner meeting of the Castle- gar Rotary club, McKernan said that the Commercial Crime Division was created in 1967 with only a handful of Officers to investigate white collar crime in the area of government corporations, stock and investment mar- kets, bankruptcies, insurance and land fraud, taxation, or- ganized crime, and in other “grey” areas. The staff now has more than 4,000 mem- bers. The division works closely with international intelli gence-groups such as Inter. pol throughout. the world, and particularly in such areas R : as money movement and counterfieting. McKernan said the best counterfeiters are located in Hong Kong where there is a thriving business in bogus bills, American $100 travell- ers cheques, and credit cards. Of one counterfeiter, the cor- poral said,“This guy is so good that he initials his bills (microscopically) and these initials are often the only way the experts can -spotthe counterfeits.” Some indication of the ser- iousness of the problem is the fact that three recent “busts” have involved sums of over $75,000 each and yet police feel that this represents only about two per cent of the bogus bills passed. One team alone more than $300,000 worth of the fake bills in 74 hours. A major part McKernan's presentation took the form of questions and answers, sev- eral of which involved inquir- ies on computer crimes. The problem in this rapidly accelerating area, the cor- poral said, lies in three fac- tors: The laws are out of date with this new and constantly changing technology; as soon as new investigators are trained they are snapped up by the private sector; and many businesses are unwill- ing to prosecute since they are concerned about the un- favorable publicity. In most other areas the laws are adequate, he said. But it is a matter of changing the judicial concept of the nature of white collar crime as compared to more tradi- tional crime. Another problem lies in the fact that cost accounting has affected the scales of jus- tice. The department must justify the expense of the in- You're Invited... vestigation and enforcement of the law.
