SENSATIONNEL, JIM BEATTY ! read a six-column headline in Paris' L'Aurore, after Beatty sped 3,000 meters over a muddy track in 7 min. 54.2 sec.-just 5 sec. off Michel Jazy's world record. FANTASTIC ! echoed Britain's Daily Herald, when Beatty ran the mile in 3 min. 56.5 sec. over a notoriously slow track at White City stadium-pulling four other competitors over the finish in less than four minutes.

...abandoned me. I've worked too hard for what I've been given in return. I can't spend my life in restaurants and festivals begging funds." He scraped along on occasional television appearances, started (but never finished) four films that he financed himself. Then Producers Michel and Alexander Salkind (a father and son team; Michel produced Greta Garbo's first film outside Sweden, the team an occasional epic in recent years) offered him a walk-on in Taras Bulba. Though he needed the money, Welles indignantly refused, trumpeting, "Are you crazy? I am Taras Bulba...
