What's 6 ft. 4 in. tall, throws a knockout punch, and has long furry ears? It's John Wayne, drawling veteran of over 200 he-man films, dressed up in a rabbit costume. With enthusiastic support from Laugh-ln's comedienne Sarah Kennedy, Wayne is impersonating the Easter bunny on next month's opening of Laugh-In. Acting the role of a rabbit did not come easily. When he arrived onstage, the Duke growled: "The first guy who snickers gets a broken face." After the ordeal was over, he remarked: "I felt pretty funny...
Last week, though, Hunter suddenly seemed in danger of suffering a technical knockout from Olympic competition long before the Games started. Willi Daume, president of the Olympic Organizing Committee in Munich, said that Hunter would not be welcome at the Games because "an Olympic athlete should be an example to youth." The U.S. Olympic Committee "would be wise" not to send the 21-year-old boxer, advised Daume, a successful industrialist who played basketball for Germany at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.

Best of all is Tenor René Kollo, a German pop singer metamorphosed into a Heldentenor, who sings Tannhäuser with a gleaming tone, power, and a dramatic force unequaled since Lauritz Melchior...
...even if Maryland fares poorly over the regular season, the team will have a reprieve in the form of the ACC playoff in March. Last year a North Carolina team that won the League title over a 14 game season lost it to South Carolina in a three game knockout tournament. Instead of going to the NCAA playoffs, where the other regular-season conference champions were, the Tarheels had to settle for the NIT at New York, which they won easily...
