...down-to-earth people, such as his Monaco-born wife Yvonne Gallis, who died in 1957, and the Sardinian-born sculptor Costantino Nivola, for whose Long Island house he did murals. Mainly, he took refuge in solitude. For the past 15 years he summered in seclusion at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin-on the French Riviera. There he avoided autograph hunters in a 6-ft. by 15-ft. two-room cabin with a corrugated iron roof. Every day he sketched and exercised. Last week, while taking his twice-daily swim, he was seized by a heart attack and died before anyone could...
Though he looked fit and healthy in his fresh white uniform, gold-topped swagger stick and black Moslem cap, Sukarno had fallen ill twice during August, probably because of his chronic kidney trouble. During his recent trip to Europe, Viennese specialists urged an operation, but Sukarno is said to fear the scalpel, since his horoscope predicts that he will die by steel...
...paved road in Haiti, running north from the Port-au-Prince capital of Cap-Haïtien, is now in ruins, pot-holed with foot-deep craters that all but disembowel any cars and trucks that travel it. Construction on the $40 million Artibonite Valley irrigation project has stopped, and 30-ft.-high cacti choke the rich sisal fields outside Port-au-Prince.

The country...

Yet the board concludes that Cap tain Norris and his passengers are dead because of his error! Captain Norris' only errors seem to have been believing that a federally licensed mechanic would fix a compass and/or an altimeter, that a person on the ground would tell him the truth about a serious matter, and that...
Concentrated Beer. Impressed by the success of the flip-top cap, brewers are searching for other package improvements. Schlitz last week introduced an improved flip-top whose blunt edges are guaranteed not to slice hands, as earlier models often did. Anheuser-Busch also announced that it is shifting to aluminum cans from tin-plate, even though brewers admit privately that any kind of can is a poor container for retaining beer flavor. Because 50% of all beer is now sold in supermarkets, beer companies are designing packages that will stand out on store shelves, catch the eye of housewives...
