Captain Manuel Fernandez Jr. of Miami, who was the leading jet ace for a while (TIME, May 18), was overhauled by a hawk-eyed pilot who was once Fernandez' gunnery student: Captain Joseph McConnell Jr., 27, of Apple Valley, Calif. For a brief while last fortnight, Fernandez and McConnell were tied at 13 kills apiece. Fernandez got one more; then, in one busy day last week, McConnell raised his total to 16, thus becoming the first "triple jet ace" in aviation history...
Baseball's center-fielding DiMaggio dynasty ended when Dominic ("The Little Professor") DiMaggio, 35, fleet, spectacled Boston Red Sox fly hawk (lifetime batting average: .298) announced his voluntary retirement, 13 years after his major-league debut, to join in pasture big brothers Joe (now a television performer) and Vince (now a liquor salesman...

Raf Valone is the straight man who loves Anna for something besides the obvious. Jaques Dumesnil, playing an elderly surgeon-philosopher, and Patrizia Mangano, Silvana's sister, fill out a competent cast. Written by Nino Rota, the music smooths over some rough spots in the plot and dialogue, effectively supplementing the film's emotional crises...
