Scrambled Brains. Sent East to Smith College ('34) to follow in her mother's footsteps, she is remembered by her classmates for her gigantic appetite for jelly doughnuts, her high good spirits, and her practical jokes (painting the John seats in Hubbard House red and dangling tom-toms in the wind outside a faculty member's window). Her dreams of glory as a star basketball center were dashed when, after one look at her height, Smith decided that she had an unfair advantage over her college mates, changed the intramural rules so that the ball was thrown...
...perform them in St. Paul's Catholic Church in its fall concert Sunday night contributed to making the piece a spectacle. The Vespers form a very complex whole--they consist of a response, five psalms, a hymn, and the Magnificat, together with corresponding plainsong melodies which precede and follow each movement except the hymn. In addition, each of the eight movements is rhythmically heterogeneous, as if each voice part had its own time signature, and even that changed every measure...
...prior to and ten days after each performance; his distraught wife says he sings every ten days. Ezio Pinza, on the other hand, held the belief that "the night before, it's terrible, but just before going onstage, it's wonderful." Others, like Tenor Giuseppe di Stefano, follow no regimen.

Then there is the problem of finding the right format for a series. Solution: imitate successful formulas. After The Man from U.N.C.L.E. proved a hit, the television brains dreamed up The Girl from U.N.C.L.E., and presumably will follow next year with Son of the Man and the Girl from U.N.C.L.E. It all reached a ridiculous if predictable end last week when CBS and NBC an nounced their latest replacement series -Mr. Terrific and Captain Nice. Terrific is a Milquetoast gas-station attendant who takes a pill and becomes a sort of CIA Superman. Nice is a Milquetoast chemist who takes...
...earth circles the sun, it cuts through 1866 I's trail every November slicing into the thin stream of widely dispersed debris that produces the Leonid showers. In 1833, the earth's course took it through the middle of the main cluster of Leonids that follow closely behind the parent comet; it encountered a vastly larger number of meteoroids than usual. Just 33 years later, in November 1866, there was another fiery but less spectacular shower; the main cluster orbiting the sun once every 33¼ years was still three months away...
