Negro Playwright Lorraine Hansberry, 28, whose Broadway hit, A Raisin in the Sun (TIME, March 23), was voted Broadway's best by Manhattan's drama critics, was trapped in an embarrassing predicament. Her play chronicles the many miseries and few joys of a poor Negro family in Chicago's ugly South Side slums. Last week the city of Chicago sued Lorraine and four others in her family for not correcting a long list of building-code violations (bad wiring, rats, falling plaster, etc.) in eight tenements owned by the Hansberrys.

Into contention shot a pair of rugged challengers: Mike Souchak, 32, onetime Duke University All-America football player, and Bob Rosburg, 32, onetime captain...
Hope Lange, 24 (married, two children), is a Hollywood rarity, a fine actress who wears sincerity like a cameo. A good girl in Bus Stop, raped, kicked and beaten in Peyton Place, a glossy career girl in The Best of Everything, she can project whatever is asked for with the professional competence of an actress who started on the stage when she was twelve (in Sidney Kingsley's The Patriots). "A lot of people who are stars never have time to work out what they are doing," says she. "Acting is important to me, and I believe...
