Among 977 passengers aboard the 11,828-ton troop transport General Anderson that sailed from Yokohama last week, bound for San Francisco: Army Private William S. Girard, 22, and his Japanese bride Haru ("Candy") Sueyama, 27. Five months before, wild eagle screams had sounded across the U.S. when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Girard, accused of shooting a Japanese woman in the back on a firing range, would have to stand trial for manslaughter in a Japanese court; from Capitol Hill to Girard's home town of Ottawa, Ill., flag-waving orators, commentators and editorialists deplored handing over...
After semi-singing his way through more than 600 performances of Broadway's nonstop musical My Fair Lady, Actor Rex Harrison sailed away from his historic stint. Bound with him for Europe was his bride of five months, long-legged, luscious Cinemactress Kay (Les Girls) Kendall.

The deal-perhaps the most dramatic example yet of TV's upstaging the movies in their own backyard -is being...
...stories are far more effective, and they vibrate with the fragile melancholy of tinkling temple bells. A Hindu youth claims his veiled bride, and in the first flush of passion feels a hot tear on his hand as the girl trembles beside him, fearful and liquid-eyed as a doe he once killed. A simple, doting peasant couple lose their only son to the mysterious war of the white men's raj and begin to lose their health, sanity and land as well. Then they are told to apply for equally mysterious pension checks, thus making their...
