Last week twice-married Grandfather Ylppo (his youngest child is only two) turned 70. To honor him, colleagues had established the Ylppo Award, to be given every five years to pediatricians for special achievements. Ylppo himself was a tiny, inconspicuous figure among the frock-coated dignitaries in the great hall of Helsinki University as the Ylppo gold medal was bestowed on Harvard's Professor Clement Smith, outstanding researcher into the breathing mechanism of the newborn (he advises against spanking them). Said Disciple Smith: "It is often stated that Arvo Ylppo invented the premature baby. I doubt this...
...knows very well that publishing is not his game. The plot concerns a young novelist who has concocted a piece of what Gerald calls "illiterate trash," which somehow brings tragedy to the three publishing types-Gerald goes over the deep end dressed in a girl's frock; Tony dies of what must be diagnosed as a continuing beating administered by life; and Kevin loses control of the Primrose Press.

"If we ran a union shop . . . we'd go broke making this dress." By paying his workers less than the contract minimum, Boss Cobb maintains what garment gamesmen call "The Edge''-a margin of profit that...
...portrayed by Actor O'Brian, 31, onetime Marine drill instructor, Wyatt Earp now rides herd on the youngsters, makes them eat their cereal (Cheerios) and brush their teeth (with Gleem). His impeccable dress-frock coat, striped pants, silk vest, black sombrero-is a good example for the junior blue-jeans set ("Mothers love me"). Western buffs approve of his resemblance to the real Earp (though he omits the handlebar mustache) and his ability to handle such firearms as Earp's long-barreled Buntline Special with authentic eélan-he is perhaps the only regular Western type...
