...usual eyecatchers were on hand last week at Geneva's Salon Interna tional de 1'Automobile where 78 car makers from 13 countries bared their new chrome. Ferraris, Maseratis and Aston Martins gleamed disdainfully, while a Daimler reposed in a bed of rhododendrons. High performance and prices typified the new models. Italy's Fiat presented its $5,859 Dino, boasting a Ferrari-designed engine, while O.S.I, of Turin produced the silvery Scarabeo. From France came the Matra 530, a Le Mans-styled model with a sloping tail, a Ford Taunus engine and a built-in roll...

...only excitement left was a time-wasting display of dribbling by Cornell's Blaine Aston with about four minutes to play. Aston was helped by the fact that no one on the floor for Harvard made much of an effort to hound...

Britain's bonny Prince Andrew, 6, last week took delivery on a little number from Aston-Martin. It does 6 m.p.h. flat out and can stop on a lollipop. The automaker's $11,000 gift is a scaled-down model of that piece of incredibilia James Bond drove in Goldfinger. Tooling around the playgrounds, Andrew can be in constant contact by two-way radio with headquarters at either Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace. There is also a radar warning system with a three-mile radius, a protective bulletproof shield, and the punch of a button can send...

...little $2,500 sedan, designed especially for the U.S. market.* Britain's Jaguar introduced its XKE 2 + 2, nine inches longer than the two-passenger model, which it otherwise resembles. It has a minimal back seat that can accommodate two people in a pinch, costs $6,070. Aston-Martin went even further with a four-passenger DB 6 that has a full back seat and sells for $15,400. For the man who wants to take his wife and kids to the beach in a hurry-say at 150 m.p.h.-Aston-Martin has just the answer...

...actors to emphasize character and establish distinct, consistent styles for each role. They did so brilliantly. Each actor had a characteristic walk, and vocal tone. Even the set of their mouths was distinctive. I. Mackenzie Lamb as Davies rasped out his lines with twitching lips and lolling tongue. Aston, played by Tom Jones, moved his lips, slowly, evenly, methodically, biting and clenching them only in his hypnotic description of an electric shock treatment. James Shuman as Mick would harass Davies, using an exaggerated enunciation, flaring his nostrils and then subsiding to a pursuing of his lips, half quizzical, half sneering...
