After listing several Communists who were once leaders of NUSAS, Vorster added (with unusual sophistication) that not all members of NUSAS are Communists, but that all Communists were once members of NUSAS. He apparently forgot to note that almost every English-speaking student in South Africa is also a member of NUSAS...
...great was the crush at Montreal's airport that Elizabeth Taylor, 31, forgot herself for a second. "Where's my daughter? Where's my husband?" she screamed. Ah well, no matter, said Liz after she finally collected Liza, 6, and Dickie, 37. "We'll be married in three months." Then it was on to another frenetic touchdown in Mexico, where Burton (see CINEMA) has the part of the tourist guide in Tennessee Williams' The Night of the Iguana, and started off pretty beastly by punching a photographer in the nose.

He built Morris Motors into Britain's biggest automaker, but until three years ago drove a 1939 Wolseley Eight with 215,000 miles on its speedometer -and replaced the parts himself when the Wolseley staggered. The human engine is less easy to repair. Last week at 85, weakened by four operations and a heart condition, William Richard Morris, the Viscount Nuffield, died...
