Ever since his boyhood summers in Boothbay Harbor, Me., Sterling Hayden (born John Hamilton) had been running away to sea whenever the going got rough. At 15, he sailed as workaway on a schooner from Connecticut to California. He shipped as fireman on a steamer, fished off the Grand Banks, finally got his master's papers and wound up part owner of a schooner that was supposed to carry passengers from Hawaii to Tahiti. Only when his ship piled up in a gale did the handsome blond sailor finally agree to take a Hollywood offer and a crack...

The first-semester finals are due this...
Part of Classroom's success lies in the country's post-Sputnik appetite for science. But the show could have been a nucleonic turkey without its M.C.: Dr. Harvey E. White, 57, a top University of California physicist, who got the $38,000 yearly job (v. $12,000 at U.C.) after previously enlivening a TV high school physics course in Pittsburgh. A lanky, friendly, precise talker, Dr. White is no jazzy showman ; he drones at times like a farm agent exhaling a market report. Yet he somehow makes physics a sort of cosmic cooking course that can fascinate...
