...painted it is a onetime photo-reconnaissance officer named John Merton. He sat his subject in a dentist's chair, made 100 three-dimensional photographs of her, worked 1,500 hours while playing Bach, Beethoven and Mozart on his hifi. The girl is Lady Dalkeith, 26, a former fashion model and daughter of a Scottish barrister. In 1953's flossiest British wedding, attended by Queen Elizabeth, Princess Margaret and 1,600 other guests, she married Margaret's front-running suitor, rangy, redheaded Walter Francis John Montagu-Douglas-Scott, Earl of Dalkeith, son of the eighth Duke...
Unsubdued and perfectly self-assured, Author Fleming finally took to print in his own defense. Too much violence? Answers Fleming in the Manchester Guardian: true to "real spy-life." Too much sex? Replies Fleming: "Perhaps Bond's blatant heterosexuality is a subconscious protest against the current fashion for sexual confusion." Too much snobbery?

Almost unnoticed in the wolf-whistling stampede toward the fashion models: the U.S. atomic energy exhibit. Other American attention-getters: the "Circarama," a 15-minute movie of America the Beautiful projected on a 360° screen; the IBM 305 Ramac, which produces answers in ten languages in ten seconds; a set of U.S. voting machines. The pavilion's transplanted "corner...
Mlle. Boulanger's technique as a conductor is not to lead, so much as to elicit the music from the players and singers, participating with them in chamber music fashion. She conducted standing at the piano, occasionally supplying her own version of a continuo part. This resulted frequently in uncertainty, and some awkward moments. But for the most part, she had the complete sympathy of the musicians, whose grasp of her rhythms and nuances amounted almost to mystical communion...
