...deep-sea diver. All recruits go through rugged basic training, learning to shoot and strip rifles (just in case they ever have to in an emergency) and slog through mud, with full packs, to cadence-counting chants ("Standin' tall and lookin' good/ We ought to be in Hollywood . . .") The service academies are preparing for women in the classes that will be admitted next summer. West Point will take in about 100 women cadets, the Naval Academy 80 and the Air Force Academy 100. The women will wear handsomely cut uniforms, basically like the men's, except that the females will...
...there to work," says Actress Natalie Wood of the Anatomy Asylum, the newest hangout for Hollywood heavies. The health spa and its adjoining 25-ft. salad bar, which were opened two months ago by a slimmed-down model for chubby fashions and a former A.A.U. gymnast, already serve a clientele that includes Sally Struthers of TV's All In The Family, Singer Diana Ross, Actress Yvette Mimieux and Comedian Woody Allen.

Later Lundigan moved to TV to become the host...
Died. Rowland Lee, 84, durable Hollywood director-producer of more than 60 films; of an apparent heart attack; in Palm Desert, Calif. Lee left Columbia University for an acting career, went to Hollywood in 1916 and directed several silent movies, including Doomsday, starring Gary Cooper. When the talkies killed the silents, the adaptable Lee quickly met the challenge by turning out the grim, chilling Derelict and a cloak-and-sword drama, The Count of Monte Cristo, with equal dexterity. He retired in 1945 to his San Fernando Valley ranch but came back in 1959 to produce The Big Fisherman...
...Gift Horse (1971) revealed that she could have been a writer as well, perhaps even a novelist. Although that book contains a fine, stringent recollection of Hollywood, it is best about the war. Knef had a wretched time of it, usually hungry and sick, falling in love with Nazis and Jews, shuttling across constantly altering boundaries. The secret of her style then and now lies in its immediacy...
