...only real smile around belonged to Pittsburgh Pirates' Manager Harry Walker. Sure, his top pitcher, Vernon Law (record: 16-9), had a sore elbow, and his top slugger, Willie Stargell (92 RBIs), was limping around on an injured knee. But the fifth-place Pirates had won ten out of their last 13 games-including four from the Giants, three from the Braves and two from the Dodgers. Insisted Walker: "With any kind of break, we'll win the pennant." Well, they might at that-since everybody else seems to be trying to lose...
These days, artists are seeking other meccas. And the blame, many believe, belongs strictly to an absence of elbow room. Entire streets of studios−Rue Vandamme, Rue Moulin-de-Beurre, Rue Vercingetorix−have been razed and replaced by glassy apartment buildings. A Deputy from Montparnasse complains that 140 ateliers have been destroyed in the past two years. La Ruche, spared as a historical monument, still offers 110 studios at $10 a month−but only one-fifth of its inhabitants are artists. More ex-ateliers are increasingly occupied by nonpainters willing to pay fat rents for the chic...
...woman's hand slides into view across a sheet. A man's hand appears and clasps its wrist. Then his fingers languidly caress a knee, a shoulder, an elbow, a torso.

They are lovers, and as they get dressed, they communicate in cool, laconic monotones, like intergalactic messages across the light years...
...next afternoon, in a hotel room at Orly Airport, from which Robert, an actor, is leaving on a week's engagement, Charlotte again gets that old feeling−wrist, knee, elbow, torso. This time Robert is in a rush. His plane leaves in 30 minutes, but he spends most of his time in a monologue on role playing v. real life. End of movie, with Charlotte's disembodied hand sliding across the sheet out of the screen and leaving it empty...
...original wire wheel-he's out right away." Then the judges get down to finer points. Cars manufactured in 1928 and 1929, for instance, came with nickel-plated brightwork, which requires constant polishing. To save on elbow grease, some owners have chrome-plated their radiator grilles and head lamps. Says De Angelis: "That's O.K. unless it comes down to some real close judging. Then the car with the nickel plate wins." Best of show went to Arland Banning of Des Moines, who owned a 1931 de luxe Phaeton with snap-in isinglass windows. Final event...
