...even in success, la vie en rose eluded Edith Piaf. Her greatest love, Boxer Marcel Cerdan, was killed in a plane crash in 1949, and her first marriage ended in divorce. Four separate automobile accidents all but crushed her frail body, and she was racked with ulcers, jaundice, arthritis, and cirrhosis of the liver. She took to drugs and young men, married her second husband, Hairdresser Théo Sarapo, 25, only last year, when she was 46.

...than the Administration had requested. The action closely followed President Kennedy's United Nations speech proposing a joint moon venture with the Russians, which prompted many dollar-conscious Congressmen to ask whether there was still any real need to conduct the Apollo moon shot as a cash-eating crash venture (see SCIENCE).

Dickie will hardly suffer academically. The free school, which is still passing the hat to pay for its year-long $1,000,000 crash program, is nongraded and amply supplied with teachers. It has a well-qualified school superintendent, Neil V. Sullivan, who is on leave from heading the schools of East Williston, Long Island. Because Dickie is far ahead of many of the Negro 17-year-olds, his father expects him to get "darn near tutorial education...
