Entertainer Ann-Margret, 31, seems to be able to take anything in her stride -including a near fatal 20-ft. fall. Though she suffered a broken jaw, five facial fractures and a broken arm, it took only three months for her to get back on the nightclub circuit. Now she is ready to go before a nationwide audience and is busy taping the NBC special When You're Smiling, to be aired April 4. Gussied up in silk, energetically doing high kicks as the notorious "lady in red" who did in Gangster John Dillinger, Ann-Margret looked better than...

For Herriot, and the reader, the rewards of such expeditions range from delivery of little nibbling creatures who sometimes get stuck in the process of being born, to the periodic relief administered to Tricki Woo, a pampered little Pekingese constantly overfed by her mistress. To be fair, though, as Herriot invariably is, the struggling assistant vet is every bit as susceptible to .the sherry and smoked oysters supplied him by Tricki...
Fichter continued his career mastery over MIT with his performance and gave the sagging foil team a much needed boost in the arm. While Howie Weiss did take two out of three, Bennett just couldn't get straightened out, dropping his first two bouts in inglorious fashion. The foil squad, which Marion had hoped would be the major strength of his squad, continued to look unimpressive, adding another lax performance to its collection...
