...chicken war-that silly but symbolic dispute between the U.S. and the Common Market-finally ended last week with each side holding a leg. After a dispute that dragged on for 17 months, a panel of neutral experts decided that the Six's tariff hike on chick ens had cost the U.S. $26 million in exports.

With fear and trembling, plus a savvy pal's coaching, he has invited to his scrubby flat what he thinks is a feminine moonlight sonata. Enter the girl (Geraldine McEwan), a sniffly, scratchy, giggly chick with the inner beauty of a beer can. She is not smitten with Benjamin Britten. The pal gets Tchaik's girl without half trying.

Signed to a long-term pact were Singing TV Star Ricky Nelson, 22, and his slick chick Kristin Harmon, 17, applying for a marriage license in Santa Monica, Calif., all set to wed on April 20. "I don't think 22 is too young to get married, if you have found the right girl," said Rick, and Kristin, daughter of former football great Tommy Harmon, looked right as rain. Whether she will join Rick in The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet remained to be seen, but with those clannish Nelsons gaining such a pretty new face, it seemed...
