...Crimson sailors made their first good showing of the year in light winds. On Saturday, spotty wind and fog forced postponement of four races. But on Sunday, in off-again, on-again winds, a Crimson team whose best performances had come in heavy weather, was able to slice six points from M.I.T.'s first-day ten-point lead...
...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.

...Borscht Sky. NBC once trumpeted its color programing with the argument (in an ad) that in a world without color, "pea soup would look exactly like borscht, and can you imagine London enshrouded in a borscht fog?" As if carried away with the notion, the network presented Dave Garroway's Today show against something magenta that could only have been a borscht sky. 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...
...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...
