He planned to step down in May, and already felt like a schoolboy "getting in sight of the holidays," or a "matador who has decided not to enter the bull ring again...
Spain's aging (34) Matador Luis Miguel Domingín was both glad and mad in Madrid. His hair cropped down to a fine nap (to win a bet from friends), Domingín was all smiles upon being presented with a third child, second daughter, Paola, by his wife, sometime Italian Actress Lucia Bose.

Despite his scholarly air, accented by amber, half-lens spectacles, Cousteau is a man with an antic turn of mind, loves to improvise wacky film scenarios (a nearsighted bull gets contact lenses, routs the matador and escapes, only to starve because he cannot see the grass). But Cousteau is also a leader of men. When an inexperienced diver drowned trying to find the anchor of Calypso, Cousteau pulled on the dead man's Aqua-Lung and told his shaken crew: "I'm going down...
