...Seville-born Manuela first blossomed on the international scene when she won the prestigious Theater of Nations Festival Dance Award in Paris in 1963. Daughter of a cattle salesman, she is an amateur bullfighter and a "purebred" Andalusian gitana (gypsy), whose ancestors have made flamenco a way of life for more than three centuries.

And Robert M. Hutchins, 66, dubbed 1965 Father of the Year for his lifelong devotion to education, carried right on in the same vein. Accepting a standing ovation from the 1,200 guests, he thought he heard "derisive laughter in the background from...
