Friends say Lara, though he is now married to a 19-year-old chorus girl named Clara Martínez, still worships María. Last week, while he was playing and singing at Mexico City's Capri nightclub, Diego and Frida Rivera entered with María Félix, were ushered to a ringside table. Lara stopped the song he was singing, switched to Palabras de Mujer...
Last week, as much of the U.S. sweltered, people were humming a bouncy new jukebox favorite called Baby, It's Cold Outside. It was all about a girl who kept protesting that she had to go home and a boy who kept insisting that she stay. Outside, he warned, the snow was knee-deep.

She is counting in some child's blood the deadly white cells of leukemia: cancer of the blood...
...Deftly a girl picks up a cancer fragment with a trocar (a tubular needle with a plunger inside). She grabs a faintly squeaking mouse, holds it by the scruff of its neck, efficiently jabs the trocar into the skin of its belly and up under a front leg. She plants the cancer by pushing it out with the plunger. Then she reaches for another mouse...
