...Groove. Miller sometimes spots hit records even before they are made. Last year when Cinemactor Tab Hunter visited Chicago, Hunter went for a ride in Miller's 45-ft. cabin cruiser, Disk Jockey. "I wanted to do something for the kid," recalls Miller, "so I told him to make 'a record." "I can't sing," said Hunter. "I don't care," Miller assured him. "You can sneeze and it'll sell." When they got ashore, Miller called Dot Records and set up a recording contract for the actor. Hunter cut a disk called Young Love...
...comet's tail with radio telescopes. If it is really full of peculiar chemical fragments (free radicals), as astronomers suspect, the fragments should be excited by sunlight and made to broadcast on characteristic wave lengths. The Naval Research Laboratory in Washington has turned its 50-ft. radio disk on the comet in the hope of detecting waves from hydroxl (OH) radicals. If astronomers find this odd stuff in comets, they may be able to trace it back into interstellar space. This may lead them, in turn, to new knowledge about what the universe is made...
Only an Accident. For a long while, a 3.8-liter D-Jaguar clung close to the leading Maserati. Then its new-type disk brakes began to give trouble, and it began to drop back.

There speaks a man-Dick Bissell as much as Jack Jordan-caught in the middle between houseboats and station wagons, between the home that made him and a home he hasn't yet made...
Hunter's message of hope and heart-balm ("Young love, our love, we share with deep emotion") was not lost on his fellow filmsters, nor was its bestseller ranking: first on almost all popularity charts, including first in store sales and on jukeboxes, most often played by disk jockeys. Among Hollywood-be singers who were nibbling at Hunter's slice of the pie last week...
