...Died. Michel de Ghelderode (real name: Aldemar Martens). 63, noted Belgian playwright whose darkling dramas on medieval Flemish themes (best known: Splendors of Hell, Pantagleize) foreshadowed today's "theater of the absurd," a wizened hermit who rarely left the "dream'' room where he wrote surrounded by sepulchral puppets dressed up as characters from his plays; of asthma; in Brussels...
...Dreamy Pines. Vivienne Michel is her name. Motel receptionist is her game-at least when Bond meets her. The first half of the book is a detailed flashback to explain how Miss Michel happened to find herself one dark and stormy night in a deserted motel between Lake George and Glens Falls, N.Y. "I was running away. I was running away from England, from my childhood, from the winter, from a sequence of untidy, unattractive love affairs . . ." Vivienne goes on at some length about the love affairs. The most recent was Kurt, a West German newspaperman, who made love with...
...rate of 1,750 words in three daily hours of writing, while at the same time visiting the location shooting for the movie being made of his Dr. No (TIME, May 5, 1958).

...enter these rooms through the hatchway; the camera hovers overhead like a voyeur, and the four walls vibrate with a new personality. The most fascinating of the four passengers is Pere Jules (Michel Simon), a crusty old naval Caliban who exists totally on a physical level. During one memorable scene he shows the captain's young wife, Juliette (Dita Parle), the souvenirs from his voyages to the South Seas: horns and masks, beads and three satanic cats that jump without warning and perch on Pere Jules' shoulders...
...create a U.S.-model presidency, but to put the French presidency above the chaos of party politics. Says De Gaulle: "The President must never be the leader of a parliamentary majority." - Also in the cards is a Cabinet shuffle. Major anticipated casualty is waspish little Premier Michel Debre. Cool to NATO and (until called upon to implement De Gaulle's policy) against Algerian independence. Debre has been the lightning rod of the Gaullist regime, attracting resentment that might otherwise have been showered on De Gaulle. Into the Foreign Ministry replacing Maurice Couve de Murville will probably go Algerian Affairs...
