...Seventeen years ago, dolling! I didn't know vat I vas doing! I vas still just a little Hungarian teen-ager," said a contrite Zsa Zsa Gabor in her heaviest sour-cream accent. Back in 1945, the most visible of Mamma Gabor's three girls had tossed a tantrum in Manhattan's El Morocco nightclub, wound up spitting in Owner John Perona's face, and was banned forevermore from the zebra-striped benches. Now, a year after the proprietor's death, Son Edwin Perona listened to the importuning...
Only survivor was a movie camera that had photographed the same scenes, then descended safely to earth on a parachute. But for all the spectacular burnouts, the shot was not a failure. The great balloon, largest though not the heaviest man-made object ever to enter space, was intended to destroy itself without going into orbit. The shot was only a test to perfect the difficult art of inflating big balloons in vacuum. A similar attempt last winter failed when the balloon burst because of too much gas pressure (TIME, Jan. 26). Last week's success means that...
...elusive. Still, it hardly seemed probable that anyone would ever discover another bit of matter quite so peculiar as the neutrino, first detected near a nuclear reactor in 1956. So light that it weighs nothing at all, the neutrino is free of electric charge and can pass through the heaviest materials as if it were hurtling through empty space. But last week, a team of Columbia University physicists did the improbable: using 5,000 tons of battleship armor along with the most powerful atom cracker yet built, they found another variety of neutrino. Around the world, great laboratories are already...
...Whitehall convinced that De Gaulle was determined to keep Britain out of the Market. Though the official communique was noncommittal, one British official summed it up: "Macmillan's weekend inclines us now to believe that De Gaulle will let us into the club-after socking us with the heaviest possible dues." No dues are high enough for some of the opponents to Britain's entry. The opposition includes some strange bedfellows...
Says General Manager Moran Caplat: "We don't like the star system. We want the audience to hear opera rather than see Miss X." Glyndebourne still is heaviest on Mozart (Marriage of Figaro has been done a record 114 times), but the house has also presented a good share of the Italian repertory plus the premieres of such contemporary works as Benjamin Britten's Albert Herring and Rape of Lucretia and the first English productions of Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress and Hans Werner Henze's Elegy for Young Lovers. The country opera gets...
