Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (Spoken Word, 3 LPs) gets a fine new production by the players of the Dublin Gate Theatre, with Michael MacLiammoir as Malvolio, "sick of self-love," posturing his priggish way with timeless vulgarity. London is also out with a spate of Shakespeare-Coriolamis, Othello, Julius Caesar, Richard II-in a series of journeyman readings by the Marlowe Society players, who eventually will press all the plays. One of the most majestically read of the talking books is MGM's Joseph Conrad, in which Sir Ralph Richardson whittles Youth and Heart of Darkness to half...
Under Continental's plan, a jet passenger arriving at an airport deposits his bags and picks up a check at the ticket counter, then goes directly to the flight gate. If he has a reservation, he boards the plane immediately; if not, an attendant checks whether space is available, passes the passenger through. Only when the aircraft is aloft does the passenger pay an agent for his ticket and any excess baggage. Passengers still need reservations to be absolutely certain of a seat, but the airlines expect plenty of extra seats to be available once the big-load jets...
...That Gate. By week's end the Fourth of July standings left the Yankees teetering in fourth place by virtue of virtuous Bob Turley's one-hitter against Washington.

Four years ago he moved to Sausalito, just across the Golden Gate from San Francisco, where he wrote a novel (one of three, all unpublished), worked as a switchman on the Southern Pacific Railroad, and preached at a weekend church in Stinson Beach. After he was ordained a minister in the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. (Northern), Delattre moved to Berkeley, where he helped develop a program on religion and contemporary culture...
Battle Royal. It was, in fact, one of the worst fiascoes in the annals of royal touring, and it began the very moment Princess Margaret alighted from her plane at the airport. There, the lively Portuguese-gate crashers, airport mechanics and charwomen as well as invited guests -crowded around Margaret in a most un-British manner. According to London's Sunday Express, Margaret was MOBBED IN AIRPORT BATTLE, while a "grim-faced" Ambassador Sir Charles Stirling looked helplessly on. From then on, the British embassy and Portugal's Police Inspector José Passo were determined that the princess...
