...Tree of Idleness. After a hilarious session of Near Eastern haggling, Author Durrell took over "an iron key the size of a man's forearm" to a house in the sleepy, whitewashed mountain village of Bellapaix. Under "the Tree of Idleness" in the village square, the town greybeards sipped Turkish coffee and played a sempiternal game of cards. To Durrell's knowledge no one ever died, and the town gravedigger had to eke out a living digging cesspits. Each day toward twilight, a dozen cattle burst across the main street at racehorse pace, urged on by a bearded...
...bathtub tumble at her Hollywood home, grand old (78) Actress Ethel Barrymore broke a forearm bone, thus was out of action for this week's filming of a CBS-TV melodrama, The Brand of Jesse James, in which she was to play the bad man's grandma...
...tight tennis was all an act. But no one with decent eyesight took the sneers seriously; the matches were too tough, too tense to be the least bit phony.

Next day, heckled by a pro-Hoad crowd, Pancho slammed a ball out of the stadium when a linesman...
...whose satiric thrusts at the telephone company's "Organization Woman" were fresh, inspired stuff. Nichols and May also did a racy, offbeat skit called "The Dawn of Love or The Moon Also Rises in an Automobile!"

"Every human being has got certain natural urges, and I've got some," he began...
Crimson forward DICK WOOLSTON tosses up a hook shot despite the menacing attitude of Dartmouth center JIM FRANCIS. Note protective effect of Woolston's elbow and forearm as they tend to discourage Francis' defensive play. Captain RON JUDSON closes in from left and DAVE CARRUTHERS is behind Woolston. Height like that of Francis' (he stands six feet, eight inches in his stocking feet) enabled the visitors to gain a 45-35 rebound margin in the Blockhouse last night, but they still lost, 69 to 60. The defeat dropped their league record to 9 and 4, and gave Yale the title...
