...mystique, has one of the summer's fastest-moving single records. Songstress Margret (she has dropped her last name professionally) is that rarity in the record field: a girl singer who can really make a pop song pop. In a pulsating, slightly nasalized voice, pleasant but still more callow than mellow, she bleats across the land a sugary lament called / Just Don't Understand...
...short stories of this collection are told in the first person and appear in chronological order. As such, they are links in Alec Waugh's own footloose life, beginning with his callow saunterings through Soho restaurants and Mayfair drawing rooms and ending with surprise encounters in tropic seas. As Alec Waugh sojourns from Malayan rice fields to Levantine hospitals, from German opera houses to sleepy islands in the Indian Ocean, his plots rise happily out of the travelogue prose. In The Last Chukka, the British manager of a Siamese lumber camp imagines that he has leprosy and goes jungle...
Died. Russell S.

Rather than shattering the funny bone, ravishing the ear or dazzling the eye, it just leaves a nice taste in the mouth...
Watching from the river bank as Wisconsin breezed home was the Naval Academy's Rusty Callow, 68, dean of U.S. rowing coaches, whose Navy crews dominated the I.R.A. in 1952, 1953 and 1954. Developer of countless great oarsmen and rowing coaches in a 37-year career, Callow was forced to step down from active coaching a month ago because of failing health and eyesight. But at the finish of the race last week, Rusty Callow could feel satisfied. His Navy crew, only a mediocre outfit this season but revamped for the I.R.A., made a gallant closing spurt, finished...
