Hollywood really knows how to make a guy welcome. Barbra Streisand, Jack Lemmon, Steve Allen, Lucille Ball, Pierre Salinger, Gene Kelly, Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston, Merle Oberon, Fred Astaire, Ava Gardner, Omar Sharif, Milton Berle, Danny Thomas, Mario Thomas, David Niven, Alan Jay Lerner, Donna Reed, Gregory Peck, Natalie Wood, Andy Williams, Tom Smothers, Don Adams and Shirley MacLaine-all of them, plus about 400 others, paid $250 per couple to do honor to Paris Couturier André Courrèges, 44, at a showing of his new collection in Los Angeles. Courreges could only assume that their presence...
...recovered all three. Against U.C.L.A., Oregon State missed a victory by the margin of two inches, when Fullback Bill Enyart was tackled exactly that far from the Bruins' goal line on a fourth-down plunge. Against Southern Cal, the Beavers beat the Trojans at their own game: ball control.

Shadow & Substance. Peterson not only backs Ball's suggestions, but last week he also urged the world's businessmen to nudge their governments toward six other reforms: 1) a multinational investment guarantee system within the World Bank to ensure against what he called "nonbusiness" (political) risks, 2) an international legal code to protect private property from expropriation, 3) development of the European capital market, 4) more closely meshed national patent systems, 5) broader approaches to antitrust problems and 6) a freer flow of technology. "We have created the illusion of multinationalism without the reality, the shadow without...
Scene of the struggle was Delano (pronounced Delrryno), a grape-growing city of some 13,000 inhabitants, split by Highway 99 into a west side filled with lo-ball parlors, taco joints and strikers and an east side dominated by "Anglo" growers and indignation. As Author Dunne points out in this admirably dispassionate account of the yearlong strike, both camps were on the wrong side of history...
