...Mount Fuji, professed himself shocked at America's scandalous flab surplus. "I was out in a farm state* a few days ago, and I found that the women generally had a firmer grip than the men in a handshake," said Udall, who need not worry about the crunch in his own clasp. "I think that is a commentary on conditions today." Something had to give before Marilyn Monroe, 35, could snuggle into a bikini for the filming of Something's Got to Give, and what gave was 15 lbs. of Marilyn.

Instant Flop. In an era of football specialization, versatile Paul Hornung, 25, seems as obsolete as the drop kick. He cannot rifle a pass with the artistic precision of a Unitas.

The equipment is sure to help, but last week, as the first ships entered the seaway, the air was filled with the familiar crunch of bent bows and scraped bottoms...
...house, livery stable, chapel, railroad depot-all restored to preserve the flavor of the cattle-trail days of early Kansas. In the foreground on the lawn of the Eisenhower Museum were dignitaries, schoolchildren, townsfolk-10,000 people in all. Across the way, where soon would come the slam and crunch of bulldozers, was the site of the Eisenhower Presidential library; near by. the white clapboard house where Ike Eisenhower was reared...
