...couple of weeks later, we were having a snowball fight at 2 o'clock in the morning at the Rockefeller Center skating rink. She threw pretty well, but I'm competitive and I have this hex on her. Anyway, I very delicately washed her face with snow and then kind of touched her lips. It wasn't very demonstrative. She's desperately insecure. She always thought of herself as an ugly duckling, and she made herself up to be weird as a defense. She liked me. I was the first person who liked her back...

But there was a more concrete reason for the disappointment Nasser took with him last week when he pulled up anchor and sailed away three days earlier than planned. From host Ahmed ben Bella, Algeria's young Premier, Nasser had gotten hearty cordiality and words of acclaim...
...told, 20 men were injured as the teams from eleven nations tried their skill -and luck-on the Igls run. Only the Italians seemed immune to the hex of the Hexenkessel. Led by Eugenio Monti, 35, six times world champion in two-man bobs, and Sergio Zardini, 31, a wiry hotel manager from Cortina, Italy's daredevils placed first and second in both the two-man and four-man events. Monti's best time for the two-man bob: 1 min. 6.4 sec., for 51 m.p.h. average...
