Mixed-Up Hormones. Hollywood's Jane Bond entry is Israeli Actress Gila Golan in Our Man Flint. She is the chief operative of a sinister, SMERSH-type organization named Galaxy, which is bent on ruling the world. Gila is not hipped on personal combat, prefers to smear up the opposition with time bombs hidden in cold-cream jars. The most nonviolent Jane is Diane Cilento, the real-life Mrs. James Bond-or Mrs. Sean Connery to the literal-minded. In Once...
Whoever said the New York Yankees had hearts of flint? Infielder Phil Linz, 25, drew the wrath of management and a $200 fine for tootling a few off-key bars on his harmonica after a particularly galling loss to the White Sox last August. Now the Yanks want to start the new season on a high note. Fixed to the $13,000-plus contract Linz signed for 1965 was a $200 check, with a warming little message from General Manager Ralph Houk that the dough is to be used for harmonica lessons.

...Great Giveaway. G.M.'s fifth-ranking shareholder, Charles Stewart Mott, a spry 89, used to be its largest by far -until he gave away 1,826,421 shares to the Mott Foundation, which bankrolls just about all the cultural, so cial and athletic activity back home in Flint, Mich.

He never misses a G.M. monthly board meeting, although...

After leaving Cranbrook in 1936, Bacon served for two years as a city planner in nearby Flint, then landed a job back in Philadelphia as managing director of the Philadelphia Housing Association. It was one of the earnest but powerless organizations that existed in many cities across the land before cities realized that their inner renewal and reshaping was not just a matter of esthetics...
...Flint Librarian Ransom L. Richardson is convinced that the system is worth the expense-$6,740 a year for rental of Sentrons plus $4,500 for installation of equipment for four turnstiles. "Even if we just cut our losses in half," says Richardson, "we'll be ahead." The Grand Rapids library, which used to lose between $10,000 and $15,000 a year on stolen books, began slipping Trikilis' Sentron devices inside their books eight months ago, has not lost one of its treated volumes since. Says Grand Rapids Librarian Donald W. Kohlstedt: "The deterrent value...
