...good son Giacomo, you must promise me to finish the doors of St. Peter's as soon as possible." Each time Pope John XXIII posed for a bust during the summer of 1961, he urged Italian Sculptor Giacomo Manzù to get on with a Vatican commission for new bronze doors for the left-hand side of St. Peter's façade. Manzù, who comes from Bergamo, Pope John's birthplace, listened and obeyed. Last month workmen hoisted the ten-ton bronze portals into place...
...very often serious musicians. Pale cellists and fat sopranos sit in her audiences and variously twang and chortle. In London recently, after a performance in which she parodied the Ring of the Nibelung, the massed Valkyries of Covent Garden went round back stage and presented her with a bust of Wagner...
...Nino Vaccarella: the Twenty-Four Hours of Le Mans, pushing their bloodred, 320-h.p. Ferrari prototype 2,915.8 miles at an average speed of 121.49 m.p.h. over the 8.3-mile circuit southwest of Paris. The much-touted duel between Ferrari and Ford turned out to be a bust when none of the three new Ford racers-first team entry by a major U.S. manufacturer at Le Mans since 1928-managed to finish. California's Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant saved a scrap of prestige for the U.S., placing fourth overall and winning the grand-touring championship in a Ford...
That about says it for the Folies-Bergère: in one sense, it promised to be the biggest bust in memory, and in another it is. The French revue of flesh and spectacle opened last week in Manhattan. Even beforehand, Peeping Toms began to swarm and cluster around the Broadway Theater because they had heard that some of the girls were rehearsing without so much as a sequin to outflash their natural splendors. But, alas, even a relatively small sequin could do just that...
...assembles an army of zombies with which to conquer the world. Goliath (Gordon Scott), the hero, is a fellow who has obviously spent more time in Malibu than in Gath. According to a studio release, he stands 6 ft. 3 in., weighs 212 lbs. and sports a 50-in. bust-bigger than Jayne Mansfield's and, strange to say, almost as voluptuously formed. What's more, even though he plays a country boy, Gordon's nails are exquisitely manicured, his teeth are expensively capped, and his wardrobe apparently includes a loincloth by Balenciaga...
