Pindling has also doubled the islands' casino tax to $1,000,000 a year, and as a result, Groves last month abruptly closed the gold-papered Monte Carlo gaming room at his luxurious Lucayan Beach Hotel. That leaves Grand Bahama with only the Moorish-style El Casino in operation. In Nassau, the wheels still spin at the sedate Bahamian Club, now run by Eddie Cellini, who along with his brother Dino once ran the casino at Havana's Hotel Nacional for the big-time gambler and Mafia henchman, Meyer Lansky...
Close to 50 swimmers have tried the crossing and been defeated by the strong currents and numbing cold. Last week Stewart Evans, 41, an Army lieutenant colonel who had spent five months training for the assault, marched down to a beach on the Farallons, smeared himself with great gobs of a "secret" cold-protective grease and stroked off-straight into a school of jellyfish. For two hours, his left arm was nearly useless with excruciating pain, but he somehow kept going until the pain subsided, after a total...
Gyimes staged an off-Broadway revival of Ibsen's Lady from the Sea that lasted only three weeks but got Sandy an agent who wheedled her into a Palm Beach production of William Inge's Bus Stop.

Matrons rush onstage to buss him; others in the S.R.O. house palpitate like palm fronds. Don Ho, 37, is the big noise from Waikiki these days-the biggest in the history of Hawaiian show business...
...That changes the ballgame!" cried one Allis-Chalmers executive. And there, at least by Ling's calculations, it should have ended. Even Beauchamp (pronounced beach 'em) E. Smith, the Allis-Chalmers director with the biggest block of shares (21,560), pronounced the new offer "far, far more interesting." There was little likelihood that the company would find a savior with anything like LTV's bankroll (furnished by a group of banks headed by the Bank of America) and willing to offer a better price. The company, L-T-V figured, was boxed in and liable...
