TIME somewhat regretfully denies Buchwald's allegations about its London bureau. But we find ourselves, as we have in many other cases, laughing along with someone who is poking fun at us. For example, in San Francisco last week, Columnist Herb Caen reported overhearing Novelist Herbert Gold describe how the TIME Essay is written. Researchers first dredge up all the quotations on a subject, he explained, "after which they are fed into a computer, and then a senior editor presses the button marked 'Profound...
...Toomey can broad-jump 25 ft. 6 in., run the 100-meter dash in 10.3 sec. (just .3 sec. off the world record), and Hodge, who still goes to college, can heave the 16-lb. shot 56 ft. 7½ in. - good enough by itself to coin an Olympic gold medal in 1948. Last month at the U.S. decathlon championships in Salina, Kans., Toomey scored 8,234 points under the complicated performance tables, and Hodge scored 8,130 to put both over the old world record of 8,089 set in 1963 by Nationalist China's C.

As temperatures rise in the contracting core, the collected helium is converted into successively heavier elements, such as iron and gold, which crowd the lighter elements outward...
...much escaped the memento seekers when Manhattan's old Metropolitan Opera House closed down last April. Opera buffs pried off seat numbers, and ripped down damask wall coverings. Not to be outdone, RCA Victor carted away (after paying $10,000) the gold brocade curtain and announced that it would cut the drapery into 45,000 patches and include one in each copy of a souvenir-record album called Opening Nights at the Metropolitan. Of course, the curtain did shrink some in the cleaning, but there was enough to go around as Soprano Leontyne Price scissored off the first snippet...
