...generation, Huxley was all heart: pacifist, passionate pioneer of mind-blowing drugs, hippie blood brother in Oriental mysticism. But when this Aldous Huxley, shot through with cancer and LSD, died at 69-a few hours after President Kennedy-on Nov. 22, 1963, he could have met no stranger ghost on his final trip than his younger self...
...Machines. So far, CATV services about 6% of U.S. set owners-10 million or so Americans in 2,400 communities. But industry experts calculate that half of the U.S. TV homes will be wired in by 1972 and 90% by 1980.

In fact, there seemed to be more shades underfoot than on the windows, which mysteriously slammed shut while chairs rattled unaided across floors, drawers floated out of place, and cameras smashed inexplicably. Director Elio Petri swore he bumped into-or through-a long-deceased ancestor of the villa's owner on the staircase one night. All those unnerving incidents soon had the stagehands muttering...
...handsome young cheetah, now co-starring in Sweet Charity with Shirley Mac-Laine; Tullia, a brand-new cat star at Universal; Rott, the dog who made a name for himself in The Flying Nun; Scruffy, another dog certainly destined for stardom next fall on NBC's The Ghost and Mrs. Muir...
