...system whereby they could channel you into a "socially useful job" by dangling a 2-A in front of your nose. Or, they could keep you on the hook, giving you a deferment for a while until they needed you. Last year, Local Board No. 3 in Great Neck (it has since moved to Manhasset, New York, because of a fire) drafted only those 221/2 and older under the old system of eldest first.

...Rome's Cinecitta film complex, craftsmen are putting the finishing touches on an 18-ft., 550-lb. plaster statue of a male nude who could be a cousin of Michelangelo's David. From the neck up it is David-David Niven, that is. Niven has never seen the colossus, which is intended for his aptly titled film The Statue. His features were copied from photos.

...vampire does not fly but tiptoes to its midnight snack in a semierect position. Judging from Miss Leen's photos of the procedure, the creature bears far more resemblance to Lon Chancy hamming up his wolf-man act than to Bela Lugosi spiraling in for an elegant neck shot. Aside from the remote possibility of contracting rabies (bats, like most mammals, can transmit the disease), the only danger from a vampire's nip is botfly larvae, parasites that cradle in superficial wounds. People need not fear, however. For the timid vampire almost never bites humans...
