Caught in legal crossfire from his two most recent wives, John Jacob Astor, 43, took the easiest way out. He conceded to the claim of wife No. 2, mousy blonde Gertrude Gretsch Astor, 31, that their Mexican divorce of last July was no good. This cleared the way for a Manhattan judge to hand Gertrude an easygoing stipend from Astor's easy-come $70 million-$2,500 a month, plus $7,500 for lawyers' fees. It also marooned Dolores ("Dolly") Pullman Astor, 26, very blonde Miami Beach divorcee who married Astor in August, ditched him in September, sued...
When the New Mexico Commission on Youth invited the press on a conducted tour of the state reformatory last spring, only one reporter took advantage of the offer. He was Neil Addington, 30, police reporter for the Santa Fe New Mexican. Addington, a cigar-chomping exmarine, went on the "routine inspection" trip because the paper thought it might be helpful for a series that they were planning on juvenile delinquency.

...portrayal of lower class sordidness and misery, The Young and the Damned has no great social message; it is instead a vivid portrayal of rottenness under the log of a Mexican city. In this role it succeeds remarkably. Luis Bunuel has mixed elements disgusting enough to sicken, with others realistic enough to frighten. The result is a depressing, albeit excellent movie. It contains little of the traditionally tragic. Its themes are frustration, unnatural relationships, and violence; its heroes, street urchins, blind beggars, and murderers...
...under Dr. Gustav Rau, 74, trainer of every German equestrian Olympic team since 1912, West Germany established a 30,000 member riding association. West German breeders and trainers worked patiently with whatever material they could find, achieved miracles with gentle handling. (Says Dr. Rau about Germany's Mexican rivals: "They use wires and poles to make them lift their legs. The horses learn, jä, but through fear.") Said Winner Winkler to an American newsman last week: "You have wonderful horses, but you do not organize, you do not train enough. We work harder than anybody...
