Most Los Angelenos have long since given up hope of beating the traffic snarls on the city's freeways. But here's one working girl has the system licked. Every morning, Kim Novak gallops down a bridle path alongside the Ventura Freeway aboard Big Sur, riding bareback ("I like feeling my horse under me-I can tell if he starts twitching and seems nervous") on her way to Warner Bros, studios. While alert drivers gawk, Kim turns into a side street that leads to the lot. There she tethers Big Sur, goes to star in The Great Bank...

To make sure of an adequate supply of hepatitis-free blood from fellow volunteers, the Peace Corps chartered a plane and flew Bayne to Colombo, Ceylon, where the hospital ship Hope was anchored. Aboard the Hope, after more transfusions, Bayne emerged from his coma and began a slow but so far steady recovery. Last week, back home in Claremont, he felt strong enough to begin walking again. He can expect to be completely recovered in about three months. All he can remember of his brush with death...
