...skiers, the cafeteria at the bottom of the hill provides constant entertainment, sporting a remarkable group of continental types, all of whom have blond hair and Austrian accents. For a new area, Sugarbush has lost no time in developing a distinctive atmosphere; if you dress properly and speak a few words of German, no one will question your ability on the slats...
Wearing his Eton tie and an English suit darned at the knee, Burgess called on another Etonian, his old classmate Randolph Churchill, one of the visiting British newsmen, who was disconsolately staying at Moscow's Hotel National. Burgess, now stocky, florid, and with greying hair, seemed fidgety but in good health. His mission was to ask Churchill's help in appealing to someone in the Macmillan party for a safe-conduct that would enable Burgess to visit his sick 70-year-old mother in England.

...from mines, slums and back-alley pubs. Parnes guarantees each of the hipsters $2,800 his first year, $11,200 by his third year, plus 60% of all recording royalties.

Last week at both universities, students were dreamily reviewing intricate plans for a modern form of the pilgrimage -the scholarly expedition. Some 20 such safaris-a record-breaking number-will set out from Oxbridge this June. They range from a one-undergraduate orchid hunt in Venezuela...
...captured what he refers to as a "clean cut" following as a result of his Balladeers show on WHRB. (Where it not for the button-down collar on his brightly blue shirt he could have passed for a fugitive from Grand Ole Opry.) Miss Baez with her long black hair and soft brown eyes has a following more prone to beards and souls and such. But both singers share a professional stage presence and a delightful sense of humor. They combined to present an evening of folksongs "legitimate and illegitimate" that was always enjoyable and oftimes moving...
