Last week Ekaterina (Khrushchev calls her Katya) dropped into London for a visit, and it was obvious that the Russian ideal was changing. Down 15 Ibs. (from 150), her ash-blonde hair brushed back in a casual sweep, newly chic in a slim, turquoise linen suit, Katya asked the curious women reporters who greeted her at the airport: "What do you think I should wear to dine with an earl...

Birds, fish and other migratory creatures have long been the envy of the U.S. Navy, which would like to learn to navigate with their casual accuracy. In its latest effort to understand animal travel tricks, the Office of Naval Research has been loading homing pigeons with tiny, transistorized radio transmitters designed by American Electronic Laboratories, Inc. of Philadelphia. Despite four batteries and a 40-in. trailing antenna, each transmitter weighs only 2½ oz. and does not overburden an airworthy pigeon. For 20 hours, it sends out a signal that can be picked up by directional receivers tracking the pigeon...

...next night--April 28, 1961--a casual gathering around 7 p.m. developed into a yelling, chanting gang of 4,000 students, who marched through the streets and then camped in the Square. Cambridge police thought that the fun was over and decided that tear gas would send the boys home to their books. It did, Groaned a dean, "What a night!" Tension mounted, six students were thrown into paddy wagons, and the deans were "disgusted."

...Radcliffe House system lives up to Mrs. Bunting's expectations, clearly it will bring improvements other than adequate space and lighting and a reasonable amount of privacy. Casual friendships between students and Faculty members--or those families Mrs. Bunting hopes to attract--could gently alter the intellectual atmosphere. 'Cliffies might stop feeling and all too often behaving as if they were losing in a competition with Harvard for Faculty attention. The desperate grind might desert her study corner for the intellectual give-and-take in a Harvard-style dining room. The party girl might be stimulated to individual research through...

...Casual Kazoo. Last week, fresh off the road, Hirt was packing them in at the Pier 600 Club on Bourbon Street, where his success began. A huge (6 ft. 2 in., 300 lbs.), bush-bearded man, he stands on the bandstand, his trumpet like a toy kazoo in one hamlike hand. With his other hand, he sketches out a casual beat. Then he may break into a surprisingly agile buck and wing and lead his combo (trombone, clarinet, drums, bass, piano, trumpet) into a searing chorus of Down by the Riverside. Snarling, growling, shivering into a remarkably clean vibrato...
