Actually, it is an ordinary pie crust full of shaving cream, and 36-year-old Soupy Sales (born Milton Hines) makes about $150,000 a year largely for his exploitation of this antic vaudeville wheeze. He can fill up five minutes of TV air time simply getting schlopped with pie after pie. Who likes the act? Hordes of juvenile and juvenile-minded viewers-also, it appears, Frank Sinatra.

...subject of the disagreement at Buckingham Palace was: What school should 13-year-old Prince Charles attend? Queen Elizabeth wanted Eton, where Charles would wear a swallowtail coat, and mix mainly with sons of U.K.'s uppermost crust. Father Philip held out for Scotland's rugged Gordonstoun, his own old school, which among other goals aims to "free the sons of the rich and powerful from the enervating sense of privilege."

...Russians were trying to hide their tests, they would have held them underground. Underground explosions send no ordinary radio signals or barometric waves. They are invisible to radar, and they scatter no telltale fallout. But they do create powerful earth waves that travel in the earth's crust and deep through its interior. A powerful underground explosion registers on seismographs all over the world, and smaller explosions are detected at shorter distances. The fault of this system is that weak bomb waves are hard to distinguish from the waves of natural earthquakes. Some experts claim that underground explosions send...
