...onetime bunny in the buff for Playboy, Hollywood Starlet Jill St. John, 21, tried terribly hard to keep up with her auto-racing husband, Five & Dime Heir Lance Reventlow, 26, only issue of Barbara Hutton's six marriages. Lance's bride even rode a motorcycle to get the feel of a wheel, but when it hit 25 m.p.h., Jill came tumbling after. Finally their two-year marriage went all aflivver and Jill sued for separate maintenance, demanding all of their communal property. Definitely not for her: the 1961 Porsche, Mercedes 3005L, 1936 Rolls-Royce, slinky Scarab racer...
...tissue in a living body is by rapid deep-freezing. Dr. Cooper's newest technique, used in almost 200 cases in the past year, is to put the patient on the operating table under a battery of X-ray machines. Using a local anesthetic, he saws out a dime-sized piece of the skull, then inserts a three-in-one tube, only 2 mm. (less than 1½ in.) in diameter. The tube slips painlessly through the insensitive brain to the deep-lying thalamus. The tube's outer layer is a vacuum insulator; the innermost bore carries liquid...
Young Hal Holbrook, despite a dime-store beard, conveys the old age of John of Gaunt in both body and voice, though there is more to be had from his farewell speech, as grand a paean to England as ever was penned. As staged here, Gaunt walks slowly off stage in apparent good health; no sooner is the last of his gown out of sight in the wings when Northumberland (solidly played by Will Geer) bounds back into view to report Gaunt's death. Now Shakespeare is partly to blame, for he wrote only eight lines between Gaunt's last...
...Well," said one Minneapolitan as he shelled out a dime for the Herald, "it's better than nothing." Benefits & Beneficiaries. Like most newspaper strikes, this one began with the standard labor-management debate over pay hikes, vacation and sick time, pensions and other fringe benefits. And like most strikes, it quickly degenerated into a stubborn argument over a trifle: the tying of newspapers into bundles before loading them into trucks-long a mailers' prerogative. The papers' management wants to eliminate tying entirely and pack the papers loose into the trucks...
...grain still in Estes elevators. Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman denied that Estes received any favors (Agriculture had been accused of giving Estes a break by asking a 2?-per-bu. bond-the lowest possible rate required of grain-storage operators). Said Freeman: "The Government hasn't lost a dime . . . Estes hasn't got a cent of the taxpayers' money." Of three Agriculture officials accused of accepting gifts from Billie Sol, one has resigned, one has been fired, another has denied the charges under oath. The official who approved Billie Sol's low bond has been shifted...
