...warning did not seem out of order. It also served as a sharp reminder that, despite U.S. pleas, the nations of Latin America have not yet put together a permanent body to cope with attempted Communist takeovers. Many of the loudest complainers last week were those who turn tail fastest every time the U.S. suggests such a force, which would make unilateral U.S. intervention unnecessary...
...admired bosom and spikelike false eyelashes, Suzy has the look of a pouter pigeon. The twice-divorced and now unmarried Texan, whose real name is Aileen Mehle, stands out at any party. She never misses a thing, she boasts, because of her powers of total recall. "I have the fastest eye in the house." But she never takes what she sees very seriously. "Social ites," she says, "kid each other, their way of life, their friends; and I kid the whole setup...
Many unions have been content to consolidate their gains and have neglected organization drives, failing to go after workers in those areas that are growing fastest, such as the service industries. Others have demonstrated that aggressive (and often expensive) organizing can still win members.

All of these tasks-and many more- are the business of a little-known Connecticut company named Perkin-Elmer Corp., one of the fastest growing members of the fast-growing scientific instrument industry. Variety has paid well for Perkin-Elmer: last week it reported its tenth straight year of record sales ($66.7 million, up 17%) and its eighth straight year of record profit...
...license to kill in a wacky movie called The Tenth Victim. It opens in a weird, cubistic New York nightclub, where Ursula is bumping, grinding and stripping down to her glittering silver and green bikini. A Chinese brandishing a .45 automatic rushes at her, but Ursula is the fastest bra in town. Bang-bang, she has fired her twin pistols, whose small round muzzles protrude from her brassiere like iron nipples. As the Chinese slumps, Ursula coolly bends her head to blow the smoke away. Then off she goes in hot pursuit across New York, around Rome's Colosseum...
