...Diana Rigg. 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. If this is the same Rigg, what's a pop actress like that doing in a nice place like Shakespeare? "I'm both a commercial and classical actress," Diana says flatly. "They want to box me up, frame me and put a title under me, but I defy that. Besides, it doesn't matter what...
...closing moments of the game. Minnesota's Clyde Turner threw Ohio State's Luke Witte to the floor to avoid an OSU lay-up. Turner, hearing he was ejected from the game, began swinging. Meanwhile, as Minnesota's Corky Taylor helped the stunned Witte to his feet, he kneed him in the groin and sent him sprawling. 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...
...weekend college-beerdrinking crowds to V-formation flying birds. But Daytona isn't all beer and birds, it's sex, suds, sand and surf, and 23" Color T.V.'s for sale on beach walls. One couple, whose embrance is hidden by a towel draped over their heads, stands bare-kneed against the bumper of their car. Few draperies, in painting or in photography, say so much but show so little...
...novel. Given enough time, and allowing for certain obvious exceptions-Moby-Dick and the Hardy Boys' Hunting for Hidden Gold come to mind-almost every novel since the invention of movable type could have been called, with poetry and justice, The Vertical Smile. The imagination turns jelly-kneed: War and Vertical Smiles, Remembrance of Smiles Vertical, The Sun Also Smiles Vertically. Condon thought up the title first, however, and he picks up the marbles. No one will ever slip a better description of the exterior aspect of the human female sexual apparatus into the Library of Congress Catalog...
