Author, editor, amateur athlete and semi-pro bachelor, George Plimpton, 40, can whistle up a date with just about any girl including Jacqueline Kennedy. But for this occasion he needed the one perfect woman to witness his return, in a charity softball game, to Yankee Stadium, scene of the personal annihilation he described in Out of My League. So George wooed and won Poetess and Baseball Maniac Marianne Moore, 79, who looked on indulgently as Pitcher Plimpton retired three inept opponents. Once George's tomfoolery was out of the way, though, Diamondologist Moore settled purposefully into the press...
...Last week's workshop demonstrated that professional apathy has begun to wane. In the universities and in the National Institute of Dental Research, most of the focus is on periodontal disease, which actually claims three times as many teeth as do cavities when people are past 35. To date, the main preventive treatment has been regular cleaning to remove the bacteria-containing film and tartar. Within two years, several commercial firms may be marketing new anti-periodontal-disease products in the form of toothpastes and mouthwashes...
Creativity & Brandy. The Lion still qualifies. Last week, during a duo-piano date with Jack Teagarden Alumnus Don Ewell at Manhattan's Village Gate, he rippled off rocking arpeggios and lacy melodies in such original com positions as Echoes of Spring and Passionette; then, in up-tempo drivers like I Found a New Baby and Sweet Georgia Brown, he unleashed his juggernaut left hand to stride and stomp around the lower half of the keyboard while his right hand danced up high in finger-blurring filigrees or punched out syncopated chords. A resplendent showman in his red vest, derby...
Divide by 10. That theory was proposed in 1960 by University of Athens Seismologist Anghelos Galanopoulos, who believes that Plato misread by a factor of 10 the dimensions of Atlantis and the date of its destruction given in an Egyptian manuscript. Dividing by 10, Galanopoulos came up with an area roughly encompassing Thera and Crete; similarly reducing Platos date to 900 years before Solon, he moved the destruction of Atlantis forward to about 1490 B. C. At about that time, a well-documented volcanic eruption plunged large portions of Thera into the sea, rained lethal vapors and debris on Crete...
...finally, we have the problem in our policy of "containment" as the inherited phrase, inherited by default. I think it's way out of date. If it ever mean anything, it certainly doesn't apply in the Vietnamese situation. Containment in Europe was a sensible enough, political, economic effort behind a military shield to revive prostrate democracy in an industralized society. This worked in Japan also. And so we got into the pjhrase "containment" in the case of the Korean aggression which was so obviously aggressive. And to "contain" Taiwan with the Navy is easy enough. But in the situation...
