...nearly 1,500 performances of My Fair Lady in Manhattan and London, Musicomedienne Julie Andrews stepped out of the Cinderella role of Eliza Doolittle for the last time in London's Drury Lane Theater. Confessed Julie: "I never really got the part under control. I got very close to it sometimes...
...Times (673,974). An ocean away in Paris, home of the Trib's Continental alter ego, the picture is far different. Last week, following a pattern of years, the European edition of the Herald Tribune splashed prosperously across 45 countries, in each of which it enjoys something close to dominance. The European Trib is not only the biggest English-language paper on the Continent, but it also consistently makes money (about $100,000 before taxes last year, v. an estimated $2,000,000 loss by its New York parent...
...South's anti-integration schemes is the "private school plan." The idea: to close all the public schools, thus diverting the U.S. Supreme Court's desegregation order.

With speed on the base paths and wall-climbing tenacity in the outfield to back up his hitting, Maris...
...bases (17), simply outruns deep fly balls. Says Manager Freddy Hutchinson: "He's already got Willie Mays' range." Robinson is so painfully shy that he has little to say even around his Redleg teammates. But at bat Robinson is a power swinger who leans his head perilously close to the plate to get a good view of the pitch, last week hit a grand-slam home run as his team beat Milwaukee 9-8. In 1956, at the age of 20, Robinson broke into the Redlegs' lineup, promptly hit 38 home runs to tie the majors...
