...temperature of the moon can be easily measured. Scientists are experimenting to see if infra-red can detect the presence of cancer by changes in skin temperature. Although infra-red was developed primarily for the military and to guide and track missiles, detect camouflage and take aerial photographs through fog, other uses are being found for it almost every day; e.g., it can be used to scan giant electronic computers for overheated circuits that might soon burn out or malfunction. Says R. Bowling Barnes, president of Barnes Engineering, a top maker of radiometers: "Infra-red is untopped in possibilities...
...near the ceiling of Rio's gaudy old Municipal Theater, gay armadas of dangling colored disks swayed in a rising fog of tobacco smoke and perfumed ether. On the floor below, three dance bands, thousands of voices, brigades of clinking bottles and the hypnotic hop of feet endlessly sambaing built a solid wall of sound. In the midst of the jammed dancers, 24-year-old Gilda Lopes, clad in a Queen of Sheba wisp of gauze and sequins, shimmied deliriously on a table top, drinking in masculine ogles as a parched field drinks the spring rain.

And at the other end of Color Day, The Jack Paar Show-which is tinted nightly and which in more than three years has remained immensely entertaining-seemed much the same, on or off-color...
...catch. The couple got engaged ten years ago, and by 1956 Jimmy mustered the courage to announce that they would be married the following year. The betrothal stretched out over the next four years. Last week gravel-voiced, grammar-fracturing Durante, usually as vague as yesterday's fog, proclaimed that him and Margie will definitely be hitched this week...
...rain may never fall till after sundown, By eight the morning fog must disappear. And again, much later, as royalty asking What Do Simple Folk Do?-and whistling, singing, dancing by way of answer-they are appealingly gay. But too often Camelot's gaiety grows flip or desperate, as its more serious scenes seem faint. And in time Julie Andrews, however engaging, seems no Guinevere, as Robert Goulet, however nice his voice, was never Lancelot; and King Pellinore becomes a chattering burden in the court and Morgan le Fay a darting disaster in the forest. Richard Burton, playing Arthur...
