...does not exist, says Ivan Karamazov, everything is permitted. To his wife Caitlin Thomas, Poet Dylan Thomas was God-or so she suggests. Her book is a searingly candid chronicle of what she permitted herself (very nearly everything) in the first year following Thomas' death in Manhattan in 1953. Leftover Life to Kill will shock and infuriate some readers, make passionate partisans of others. The book's most remarkable quality is not its wild, keening dirge for the dead poet, but its revelation of the Dionysian personality and singing, Celtic eloquence of Irish-born Caitlin Thomas...
Even in Hollywood's Cloud-Cuckoo-Land, all falls are not prat. Last week doorknob-bald Cinemidol Yul Brynner looked more dashed than dashing after he tried some Cossack-style horsemanship for MGM's The Brothers Karamazov, swooped too low, fractured a vertebra.

The child's name was Clinton Peurifoy, and he was a spastic...
...Marilyn Monroe, who is scheduled to meet Queen Elizabeth at the annual "command performance" later this month, did not seem displeased when told that M-G-M is "very interested" in having her star in the studio's planned film version of Feodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. Although nobody would take Marilyn seriously when she said a couple of years ago that she wanted to play Grushenka,*M-G-M said last week, "The part is hers, if she doesn't want half the studio...
