...cast is large and largely helpless. Finch, a professional to the quick, has the decency not to look embarrassed, even when singing knock-kneed Bacharach-David soliloquies with lines like "Have I found Shangri-La/ Or has Shangri-La found me?" Liv Ullmann, practically impacted in makeup, smiles bravely; and there is a peppy song-and-dance number, kind of a Donald O'Connor comic turn, by Bobby Van, who is most engaging as a show-biz ham. Sally Kellerman plays a neurotic Newsweek correspondent. Also on hand are John Gielgud, George Kennedy, Michael York, Olivia Hussey, James Shigeta...

There are new methods of skiing, new types of instruction, new equipment and fashions, even new controversies over the effect of the sport on the environment. Here, for armchair skiers, weak-kneed novices and perhaps some schussboomers who want to read between the lift lines, TIME chronicles the latest developments...

American TV audiences know a certain Diana Rigg as Mrs. Emma Peel, that so-cool, so-luscious British counterspy with wicked brown eyes and auburn hair who effortlessly karate-chopped and kneed her way through 34 episodes of The Avengers.

Taylor claims that Witte spit on him, but films show Witte to be groggy and passive. As Witte lay on the floor for the second time, Minnesota's Ron Behagen ran off the bench and began stomping on Witte's head. OSU coach...
Died. Ann Pennington, 77, dimple-kneed darling of George White's Scandals and popularizer of the Black Bottom dance craze in the '20s; of a brain tumor; in Manhattan. "Tiny" Pennington-she stood 4 ft. 11½ in. in heels and weighed just over 100 lbs.-started out in Florenz Ziegfeld's Follies, where White was her dancing partner in 1915. When White went on his own four years later, he took Tiny with him. She soon shimmied her way to $1,000-a-week stardom in films and on the stage. Her career faded after...
