...places in more conventional surroundings. Chasen's rates its four stars more for its pressagentry than its food. On the other hand, the guide has also dug up many outstanding out-of-the-way spots, including Casa la Golondrina in Los Angeles, Spenger's Fish Grotto in Berkeley, and Bimbo's 365 Theatre Restaurant in San Francisco, starred twice by a taster whose appreciation for his crab bella vista was perhaps enhanced by the platoon of undraped chorines onstage. (The guide discreetly lists this as "elaborate entertainment...
...first difficulty was Philip," recalls Pamela Hansford Johnson, wife of British Novelist C. P. Snow, and herself a noted novelist (The Unspeakable Skipton). Their son Philip was eight last fall when the Snows taught at the University of California's Berkeley campus; they had to find a school for him, and "he would have hated to cool his heels in an ordinary American school." What she delightedly found, reported Novelist Johnson, was "a very odd school indeed." It was San Rafael's booming 3R school, and odd was the word. How can a school that uses the antique...
...coal miner and his mother worked in a factory. At eleven he was forced to go to work because his father died.

Last week his status-conscious neighbors decided that this was going too far, and slapped him with a lawsuit for violating a neighborhood compact whose fine print requires that lawns and gardens be kept "in a good and husbandlike manner." None of this would have happened if only somebody in The Bronx had been more alert in the first place...
...fourth element maker, Albert Ghiorso, 45, has a Berkeley B.S. in electrical engineering, but he got into longhair physics by a back door. Son of a Vallejo, Calif, riveter, he went to work for a local electronics manufacturer and designed a successful commercial Geiger counter. While selling and servicing his product, he came in contact with the Radiation Lab, was fascinated, and got a job there. Working with top scientists, Ghiorso listened hard, and in the informal classroom he absorbed a higher education in higher physics. "I grew up with atomic energy," he says lightly...
