...screen, yet the movie business flourishes in China. On a ten-day State Department-sponsored visit to Peking, Shanghai and Canton, Hollywood Veteran Kirk Douglas, 63, found that interest runs high-even in his own old swashbucklers. He screened three of his pictures (Spartacus, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and Lust for Life) for small but enthusiastic audiences. Douglas also took a meeting with the cast of Teahouse, an epic film currently under production. "Let's not waste any time," said Douglas to Wang Yang, head of the Peking Film Studio. "We have everything we need to make...
More than 22,000 horses and burros have been corralled over the past nine years, but no one is overly happy with the program. The BLM spends more than $300 to corral a horse, yet recoups only a fraction of that in adoption fees, which average $80.

With Chuck Marshall gone for the afternoon on personal business. Martelli picked up the first baseman's mitt for the "third and fourth times in my life" and died a fine job. Paul Scheper, in left field for the nightcap, ranged far into the pasture to corral a lead-off blast by Princeton's Bill Miller in the fourth, and freshman secondsacker Lyman had a near-perfect day, missing only a vaguely catchable ball that fell between him and center fielder Bruce Welfer for a harmless single...
...wholly without self-puffery, the judgment is almost always favorable. He simply appeals to people, and despite his years, there is hardly anyone of any age who would not feel protective of him, would not wish him to succeed, would not forget the mistakes, who would not corral him in the hall and give him a job. Again this is not a tactic. It may well be his soul...
