...dozen other Negro mannequins. Charlene Dash, a willowy, 5-ft. 9-in. New Yorker, got her big break with a two-page spread in Vogue last January, since then has appeared in Look and filmed a Noxzema commercial that alone earns her $178 a week in residuals. Jolie Jones, green-eyed cafe au lait daughter of Jazzman Quincy Jones, this month appeared simultaneously on the covers of Mademoiselle and Coed. Carmen Bradshaw, who accentuates her dark beauty with even darker makeup, is one of the girls who split in two in the RCA television commercial. Anne Fowler has been modeling...
...Greyhound Inn, the Toucan Terribles set out last week to defend their title of World Marbles Champions. For twelve straight years, the Terribles had won the colors. This year, however, the very honor of England was at stake. Among the 15 challengers scheduled to appear at Tinsley Green, a hamlet (pop. 150) just 28 miles south of London, was a band of upstart colonials from Chicago...

Still, the Toucans were presented an immediate threat by the Johnson Jets of nearby Langley Green, who "killed" Smith in the first round by slamming his tolley off the pitch. But Len's son Alan saved Toucan face by knuckling ten straight hits to lead the Terribles to a 25-20 victory and their 13th consecutive championship. The battle done, Terribles and challengers alike repaired...
...I.A.M. members have called a wildcat strike. The mechanics gained some attention for their dispute last week by disrupting the National-sponsored invitational golf tournament in Miami. A union-hired plane trailing a banner that proclaimed "Don't Fly N.A.L." circled the course. Several strikers invaded the 17th green, traded blows with police and had to be bodily removed before play could continue...
