...woodpile? Was Dar-jeeling-born Anna's real name Johanna O'Callaghan? Back in Cardiff, Wales, William Patrick O'Callaghan, a former railroad man in India, said he was her father, told delighted newsmen: "That's our daughter, and both me and the missus were born in London." He said Johanna had moved to Cardiff with them when she was 13, got a job in a butcher's shop, later was shipped to Hollywood by a talent scout. (MGM, which likes Johanna-Anna in her off-shoulder sari, first hedged, then admitted her identity.) Said...

"and me and the kids and the missus had just set down to eat when we heard an explosion and seen a flash of light in the sky out through the window. I run out into the yard, and there was another explosion. It looked like a haystack on fire...
...Meet the Missus. Next year, under the lunar calendar, will be the "Year of the Monkey," which presents a poor augury for married bliss. But there is another reason for last week's rush to the altar. Marriages are now arranged with greater ease, thanks to the MacArthur constitution, which supposedly equalized the sexes.
