Cuban-born Desi has become not only half of TV's most popular comedy team, but the self-made boss of a company that produces, or takes a hand in producing, 27 TV shows.* This year on three different lots Desilu will grind out 270 hours of filmed television entertainment-more than twice the footage of any movie studio-rivaling TV's Revue Productions as the biggest film producer in the new Hollywood...

Ron scored his double victory for the second year in a row, took the team title for Villanova by just 2⅓ points over Manhattan. ¶Going...
