Gablinger's is the kind of brew that a hearty beer fancier might find rather thin, but Rheingold officials feel that the broader taste trend is toward lighter lager. Moreover, says President Relin, no-carbohydrate Gablinger's is "a definite response to a weight watcher's need." He should know. Though careful not to give his new product credit for the feat, Relin has pared his own weight from 280 Ibs. two years ago to 185 Ibs. today...
Perforated Walls. The revolutionary rifle is the brainchild of Belgian Chemical Engineer Jules van Langenhoven, a gun fancier who began to experiment with new propellants in 1951 in an effort to reduce the weight of cartridges. By 1961, Van Langenhoven had produced a derivative of nitrocellulose that could be ignited by a jet of hot air and that actually eliminated the need for a cartridge. Daisy President Cass Hough got wind of Van Langenhoven's experiments and flew over to Paris for a demonstration in an instrumented firing range near the Champs Elysées. Using a modified...
Along with their fancier weapons, the Viet Cong still have plenty of old-style arms that can kill someone just as dead as the new ones. Several of their heavy machine guns predate World War II, and most of them have steel-rimmed wooden wheels.

Engaged to a very U deb (Lynn Redgrave), he is about to meet her very pukka sahib army colonel father (Peter Bull). Also expected is a millionaire art fancier with a notorious avidity for avant-garde junk. To impress the guests, Crawford and Redgrave have carted off the sculptor's jackdaw furniture and replaced it with elegant antiques "borrowed" from the neighboring apartment of an exquisitely gay bachelor (Donald Madden) supposedly away for the weekend...
...Merriweather Post Close Hutton Davies May is still slender and pridefully erect-but she is far more than merely a remarkably handsome woman. She is heiress to a food fortune of well over $100 million, a celebrated hostess and philanthropist, an avid horticulturist, antiquary, boxing enthusiast and square-dance fancier. In Palm Beach (where she winters), the Adirondacks (where she summers) and Washington, D.C. (where she spends the spring and fall), Mrs. Post is a grande dame of high society. "Everything she touches turns to beauty," says Lady Bird Johnson...
