...challenge, especially since 1 have green eyes," observed Actor Peter Ustinov. "I have to be careful not to open them too much." Ustinov's ocular difficulties are caused by his role as Hnup Wan, a bungling Chinese spy in the Walt Disney spoof One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing, which he is filming in London with Co-Star Helen Hayes. Ustinov's skill in portraying his character has proved especially unnerving for his wife Helene, who visited the set during the first day of shooting.

Experimentation with the collagen gel has been encouraging. In tests undertaken recently, no subject rejected the purified collagen as a foreign substance. Nor does the collagen liquefy. Instead, it is gradually absorbed as new ocular fluid appears naturally, usually within four weeks. Meanwhile, the gel promotes the return of vision. On one series of patients treated by Dr. Donald M. Shafer, the collagen gel was administered as part of a regular surgical procedure to seven people with eye hemorrhages. In three cases, there was a recurrence of the hemorrhaging, and the damage was too severe to be corrected. But four...

De-armoring begins with strenuous eye exercises accompanied by deep, regular breathing. After several hours of ocular acrobatics, Bean says, he suddenly recalled a dog he had loved and lost as a boy.

...Compared to other names in my files, Silberbauer is a nobody, a zero." Other names in Wiesenthal's at-large list go far beyond zero. They include Dr. Josef Mengele, Hitler's geneticist, who tried to turn the world blue-eyed for Aryanism by means of painful ocular injections; he is now reported by Wiesenthal to be hiding in Paraguay. Biggest fish still at large, though, is Deputy Führer Martin Bormann, now 66, who Wiesenthal claims is not only alive but doing quite nicely in Brazil. Says Wiesenthal with mock resignation: "No country will want...

...this outing, Bette reports in a severe uniform, her brows beetled, her mouth a crumpled rose. Her celebrated ocular choreography is directed mostly toward Joey (craftily played by Movie Newcomer William Dix), an incorrigible ten-year-old who has been sent away for therapy after drowning his little sister in the bath. Though Joey claims he didn't do it, he is the kind of brat whose idea of fun is to practice tying hangman's knots. The lad returns home, alas, with one of his psychoses analyzed as "an inborn antipathy toward middle-aged females." Soon poor...
