European travelers and businessmen should be happy too. The $50 million Mont Blanc tunnel will represent a big advance in European transport when it is opened to traffic early in 1964. The 23-ft., two-lane roadway will chop 125 mountainous miles from the Paris-Rome drive, open a route usable even when Alpine snow is deepest; Geneva and Turin. 197 miles apart by road in the summer and 491 miles apart in the winter, will be separated by 168 miles all year long when the tunnel is opened...

In his major league career, the mild-mannered Wills has never hurt an opposing player...
...creatures that may huddle in the corner of a room, sprawl across a couch, or simply stare dumbly out of some indeterminate space. They are often close to being monsters, and sometimes they become great mounds of viscera. Bacon admits to being obsessed by death. "I look at a chop on a plate, and it means death to me," he says...
