...York papers called it a real nice clambake, but it was more than that: a beautiful mornin', an enchanted evening and an endless stream of happy talk on the 65th birthday of Broadway Composer Richard Rodgers. NBC's Today show gave over its full two hours in the morning to a review of his life and work, and that night Mayor John Lindsay pinned the city's Handel Medallion on him during a reception at Gracie Mansion. In between came a luncheon attended by 90 of Rodgers' friends and well-wishers, including cast members from many...
Last week, as Nakian approached his 70th birthday, his glowing and explicit Goddess of the Golden Thighs was adding a touch of lust to the Los Angeles County Museum's mammoth "American Sculpture of the Sixties" exhibit. The work, he says, is meant to symbolize "the birth of the universe; like coming out of woman, all life comes out of the female."

Now he was working at Benning without rest through the long Memorial Day weekend to stake out No. 163, The Green Berets. He would prefer to shoot the film in Viet Nam. "But if you start shooting blanks over there," he says, "they might start shooting back." Duke knows. Last year, while touring a Marine encampment for the U.S.O., he heard the crack of Viet Cong snipers' rifles. "They were so far away," sniffs Wayne...
...conference committee adopts the House plan, 19-year-olds could choose between the service or a college deferment until their graduation or 24th birthday (whichever came first). Such an option would cripple the President's plan to ease the heavy burden of conscription on lower income groups through the lottery system. It would permit 19-year-olds who have the resources to attend college to wait out the Vietnamese war in school while forcing young men without those resources to serve...
