...elegant. U.S.-born widow of Spain's auto-racing Marquis Alfonso de Portago came close to meeting death on wheels, as did the marquis in Italy's exhausting Mille Miglia road race in 1957. Under far tamer circumstances, attractive Carol Portago, 35, was crossing Manhattan's bustling Fifth Avenue last week when a taxicab, brakes gone, rolled into the intersection, plowed into Carol and two lady companions. Catapulted into the air, the marquesa came down against the cab's windshield, was indecorously given a short free ride. At week's end, with minor leg injuries...
...come to him, Counter-Puncher Moore went to Bassey, blasting home occasional shots to the body with such force that the Nigerian's gasps were heard in the balcony. By the tenth round, Bassey's left eye was cut, and his right eye was beginning to close. Moore opened up with left hooks and right uppercuts that had the challenger tottering backward in a grotesque little dance.

Reason: she is stone deaf. That is, until she has that operation, "dangerously close to the brain." If, like Johanna, moviegoers could keep their ears closed and their eyes open, they might enjoy Salzburg, Rome, Capri and Anacapri in fetching color. And by letting Zsa Zsa be Zsa Zsa, Director Rudi (Dodsworth) Mate has managed to extract a jigger of humor from a magnum...
...running well with native nurses trained in the hospital, Medico turned it over to the Laos government. Dr. Dooley returned to the U.S. to deliver another book (The Edge of Tomorrow) and more lectures, raise funds for a similar pioneering hospital at Muong Sing. He had been there close to a year when cancer struck. This week, about to undergo surgery in St. Louis, Dr. Dooley is full of plans to open more hospitals in Laos...
