There is the hard-nosed commander who wants to see action, after spending the last war "hooked up at a pier in Bayonne, N. J.;" the funny cook, the wisecracking old butler, the boobish aide, the guy who knows he's going to get killed, and does. Ty Hardin, as Kennedy's second in command, wears a ridiculous blond beard, but mumbles well. And he's terrific at diving into foxholes. James Gregory, as Commander Ritchie, who finally shoots...
...next day's 36-hole playoff, the combatants were a study in contrast.

Candela is usually content to let the soaring geometry speak for itself, but with churches, he admits with a grin, "we refine a little." One of his most beautiful is the chapel in Lomas de Cuernavaca, done with Architect Guillermo Rosell. It is a pure hyperbolic paraboloid whose slender edges seem to float free and whose roof slopes from each end down to a skylight. Guarded by a tapering cross...
