Died. Prince Chula Chakrabongse, 55, expatriate member of Thailand's royal family, who in revenge for The King and I wrote Lords of Life, an insider's report of Siamese royalty, leaving little doubt that Yul Brynner's resemblance to any King of Siam ended with his shaven head, and incidentally debunking the belief that King Chulalongkorn had 3,000 wives and 370 children (it was 92 wives and 77 children); of cancer; in Tredethy, Cornwall...
...from Sawdust. Behind Boise Cascade's swift success is its president, Robert V. Hansberger, 43, a balding, farm-born graduate of the University of Minnesota and Harvard Business School ('47). Hansberger, who looks a little like Yul Brynner, was summoned to rescue struggling Boise Cascade in 1957 on the strength of his success in setting up and profitably running his own small paper mill in Oregon. With sales of $53 million, Boise Cascade was then too small to build a pulp plant to utilize the waste wood chips and sawdust that it was simply burning up. Hansberger merged...

Steve McQueen, of course. He may not be quite as big, rough and ferrous as the cast-iron Duke, but he has proved himself worthy. He has displayed reckless fortitude by following Yul Brynner into battle in The Magnificent Seven. He was TV's Hessian headhunter in Wanted-Dead or Alive, serving what he describes as "three hard mother-grabbin' years, but I learned my trade and it gave me discipline." His range is so breathtaking that he can play either a grim soldier, as he did in Hell Is for Heroes, or a buoyantly impish soldier...
...budget picture. "We can't afford to make small pictures," said U.A. "We have too much overhead." The dimensions of the Perrys' story were necessarily small, and Hollywood could only have suffocated it anyway as a Blazing Psychodrama in Odd A-O with, say, Yul Brynner and Bette Davis as David and Lisa...
