Sensing a new jag in the jigsaw trend, Springbok has become even more esoteric, is pushing circular puzzles (no straight edges to assemble for frame) in solid colors. Upon opening "Little Red Riding Hood's Hood," the puzzlephile sees nothing but red-506 pieces of it. Or if he prefers white or brown, he can work at two vicious circles teasingly entitled "Snow White Without the Seven Dwarfs" and "CloseUp of the Three Bears." For those overburdened with leisure time, the thrill in working out such finger exercises is the assurance that no deadlier way to kill time...

The fuzz officially witnessed the wedding. Today, on his frequent romps up the California coast, Steve guns his Jag up to 140 and keeps it there. But he is more than a domestic menace. He is a big-league racing driver too. Like Stirling Moss, he was once a paid member of the British Motor Corp.'s racing team...
...Woman's Christian Temperance Union. The W.W.C.T.U. was holding its 22nd triennial convention in New Delhi, India, and President Jarrett soon found that there was work to do. She was going to Jaipur to help her colleagues snuff out that city's consumption of potent jag mohan (110-proof) and gulabi (rose petal liquor). Her substitute for the boozy brews: "a creative recreation program for young people which will enable them to know what beverage alcohol is and what it does...
