Tall (6 ft. 1 in.) Archbishop Meyer 55, was in Baltimore for a consecration* when the Vatican made its announcement, probably was glad to be out of town for the Milwaukee fuss and feathers that attended the news. No lover of the limelight, he is a scholarly, quiet man who smokes an occasional pipe, takes an occasional fishing trip (he calls fishing the "apostolic recreation") and puts in an occasional appearance at County Stadium to watch the Milwaukee Braves...
...Michigan's first lady, it seems, nothing is too good-or too big. In the limelight at a 43rd birthday party for Governor Gerhard Mennen ("Soapy") Williams' wife Nancy was a great big cake thoughtfully donated by a Lansing restaurateur, who happens to have the cafeteria concession in the new State Office Building.

...Goldwyn Jr., 31, son of Old Guard Cinemogul Samuel Goldwyn, 73, has independently produced Man with the Gun, The Shark fighters, and the soon-to-be-released The Proud Rebel. ¶ Charles Chaplin Jr., 32, and his nine-months-younger brother Sydney appeared with their father in Limelight, have duckwalked away on their own: Sydney plays opposite Judy Holliday in Broadway's Bells Are Ringing; Charles Jr. is a suspicious cop in MGM's High School Confidential. Also in H. S. Confidential: John Barrymore...
...visiting females. A Yugoslav beauty challenged Cannes Visitor Jayne Mansfield to a boom-or-bust tape-measure duel. Two Norwegian models, coyly heeding the open-fronted tradition begun by the late Starlet Simone Silva four years ago, consented to some slightly untrammeled poses for photographers. Bulging into the limelight in a different way, a well-turned bevy of cinema quail (Italy's sunbrowned Sophia Loren, Russia's Tatiana Samoilova, Hollywood's Mitzi Gaynor and Russia's Lino Yudina) stood shoulder to shoulder in a wary display of international solidarity...
