After attending a Broadway revival of the musical Guys and Dolls last Friday, Richard Burton, 50, announced that he was staging a rerun of his own. Next afternoon, he took blonde, leggy British model Susan Hunt, as his third wife. Burton, who won a quickie Haitian divorce from his two-time wife Elizabeth Taylor in July, and Hunt, recently divorced from British Race Car Driver James ("The Shunt") Hunt, were married in Arlington, Va. Less exotic than his last wedding reception (Burton and Taylor celebrated their remarriage in Botswana last October with two hippos in attendance), the modest guest list...
Jaques (also Shakespeare's invention), the cheerless square peg in a round hole, reflects the Elizabethan era's fascination with neurotic states of mind (as in the plays of Ben Jonson), which would climax a few years later in the publication of Burton's huge Anatomy of Melancholy. Jaques is the counterpart of Malvolio in Twelfth Night, which Philip Kerr played so admirably here two years ago. Kerr is now imbuing Jaques with the same wide-stanced, pigeon-toed gait he used for Malvolio. To this he has added a wonderful pasty face and a hilarious mannerism of gargling...
...cover picture for the July 12 issue had been printed, and TIME's managing editor gave the order to stop the presses and reopen the magazine. Within minutes, the needed staff began assembling on the 25th floor of the Time & Life Building in Rockefeller Center, including Associate Editor Burton Pines, who had written the prerescue version of the hijacking story, Reporter-Researcher Sara Medina and Jerusalem Bureau Chief Donald Neff, who happened to be in New York. Neff maintained phone contact with Halevy, getting details of the story in spite of interruptions from a wary Israeli censor who listened...
...Associate Editor Peter Stoler has won a Special Achievement award from the Sigma Delta Chi Deadline Club for the cover story "Hypertension: Conquering the Quiet Killer." Three other TIME staffers and contributors last week received Page One awards from the Newspaper Guild of New York. They are: Associate Editor Burton Pines, for a report on the growing conflict between rich and poor nations; Photographer Dirck Halstead, for his color treatment of new international beauties; and Photographer Ken Regan, for his color photos of Boxer Chuck Wepner. The Newspaper Guild of New York also presented TIME itself with an award...
Logic notwithstanding, studios are increasingly grabbing for the brass ring. Warner Brothers last week began production of Exorcist II, starring Richard Burton. Initial budget: $10 million. Next year Warner will release two new megadisaster flicks produced by Irwin (Towering Inferno) Allen: The Swarm (bees do it) and The Day the World Ended. Each will cost well over $12 million. Paramount has in the works Dino De Laurentiis' remake of King Kong ($16 million or so). United Artists will ultimately release a version of Cornelius Ryan's tome on World War II, A Bridge Too Far, produced by Joseph...
