...grouse shooting in Scotland. Obviously, like the housewives, the bachelor heir to the British throne had been reading the latest spate of speculation about his marital plans. Currently supposed to be the leading choice as his future Queen: Lady Jane Wellesley, 22, daughter of the seventh Duke of Wellington. But then, Bonnie Prince Charlie is also rumored to be fond of Rose Clifton, 21, whose father is a retired army officer. Maybe Charles will be beaten to the altar by Europe's youngest and newest monarch, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. It seems that wavy-haired Carl Gustaf...
...years, engineers have tried to overcome the insensitivity of the artificial arm with a variety of devices that produce electric shocks or emit auditory signals when pressure is put on the hooks. Dr. Frank Clippinger Jr., an orthopedist at Duke University Medical Center, tried a different approach. He coupled a strain gauge into the cable that operates the hook end of an artificial arm and wired it to a surgically implanted electrical stimulator. The stimulator, in turn, was connected directly to the medial or main arm nerve; the current is perceived as a mild tingling, which by its intensity tells...
...John Wayne, a Texas lawman who scours the Panhandle for bad guys while his two young sons languish at home, yearning for a little fatherly affection. The sons fall into bad company, get mixed up in a bank robbery and have to be extracted from their trouble by Duke, who promises to spend more time at home in the future. Cahill is a poky, disorganized sort of western, typical of the work of Andrew V. McLaglen (The Way West, The Undefeated), a director on whom Wayne seems to call as he might summon a foreman to keep...
...full scale model of the Alamo itself, although it will still appear only a few inches tall on your tube. A large part of the film is offensive, but much of it is also exciting and fun, and it is certainly worth watching if only to see the Duke get skewered by one of Santa Ana's mean minions. It is something I have wanted to do for years, and it provided me much vicarious pleasure I must advise, however, that you have to wait until Friday and Part II to see this epic moment, as NBC is so sure...
...Howard Cosell with the Miami Dolphins. If you really get into offensive personalities after subjecting yourself to the Duke and the Alamo, get into Howie. He is the only sportscaster in America who gives drama to a sports event by his mere presence, but he has no sense of proportion. He is entirely dependent upon his subject matter, which a good sportscaster is not, and the Dolphins' training camp can hardly be imagined to be a hotbed of interesting tidbits. Being a devout Redskins fan, I hope he talks the Dolphins to death. Channel...
