...them I was building." shrugs Clark, winner of a battlefield commission in Europe during World War II and captain of U.S.C.'s 1947 team. "What else could I say?" Clark was true to his word. He went as far away as the famed muscle factories of Pennsylvania to land Tackle Dan Ficca (6 ft. 1 in., 230 lbs.). But Clark's prize finds were waiting at Mount Carmel High School, right in Southern Cal's own home town of Los Angeles. As high-school All-Americas, Mike and Marlin McKeever got offers from some 40 colleges, including...
...Best of Everything (20th Century-Fox), based on Rona Jaffe's bestselling novel (TIME. Sept. 15, 1958), tells what happens to the bright young things from college that come wriggling down to Manhattan to get in The Big Swim. They land in The Typing Pool. And from there, it is only another wriggle to The Flesh Pot. Compared with the hot buttered Manhattan of Authoress Jaffe's imagination, the Hollywood version of the big city is a sort of cautiously diluted Scotch-and-Sodom. Nevertheless, a virgin's virtue can dissolve with appalling celerity in this sinister...
...most opulent dramatic soprano voice in the land belongs to a singer rarely seen on an opera stage: 39-year-old Eileen Farrell. For more than a decade Singer Farrell has been dazzling audiences and critics alike from concert-hall stages.

Since then, she has made occasional guest appearances-IL Trovatore and La Gioconda with the Chicago Lyric Opera, Medea and Ariadne auf Naxos with...
...great birds (wingspan: about 7 ft.) go through such distressingly gooney antics that Navymen long ago dubbed them gooney birds. Among other things, they need large, clear areas to take off and land, and they find airports ideal. The friendly gooney birds lay their big eggs on or near the runways, rise in clouds as if to welcome planes on landing or to see them off on takeoffs. Often they fly smack into an airborne craft. They have dived into propellers, smashed against expensive radomes, causing about $300,000 damage a year. Far worse is the ever-present danger that...
...better explanation for the purchase is Getty's nose for a sharp deal. Only 20 minutes from London's Waterloo Station, Sutton Place is in the center of a rapidly developing suburban area where land goes for $35,000 an acre. On that basis, Getty's investment has a potential market of better than $6,000,000, exclusive of the house...
