Extra Tanks. Like many other Green Berets, Stilwell had taken up flying, and it was his eagerness to log instrument time toward a commercial pilot's license that put him aboard last week's ill-fated flight. An old friend, Harold J. Grimes, 45, operator of a one-man West Coast air ferry service, was delivering a plane that a California winery had recently sold to the government of Thailand. Stilwell planned to go along as far as Hawaii, then return to the mainland. Taking a three-day pass from Fort Bragg, he went to San Francisco, first...
...Thrill of Showing Off. The tastes of the audience, which ballots by mail for the winners (average weekly mail: 9,000 cards), are shifting. Going out of popularity are one-man bands, soft-shoe dancers, Dixieland, harmonicas and stringed instruments; coming in strong are folk singers, guitars, guitars and guitars. The Hour still has its share of artists who play rhythms with fire extinguishers, punching bags, bones, bicycle pumps, balloons, spoons, glasses and bottles-naturally, Geritol bottles...

Son of a stockbroker, he took an engineering degree at Christ's College, Cambridge in 1944, then studied art for six years, mostly at the Royal Academy Schools, before serving a two-year apprenticeship under Henry Moore. Not until 1957 did he have a one-man show in London of savage figurative bronzes, which drove a critic to gasp, "One almost wishes them back into clay." Caro gave up modeling in clay as "lifeless." A trip to the U.S. opened his eyebeams to the possibilities of metal assemblage. "There's a fine art quality about...
Though he can make any flippancy sound quotable just by arching his eyebrows over it, Grant is never left on his own to build a flimsy notion into a one-man show. Sol Saks's dialogue bristles amiably from first to last, and when blithe spirits threaten to overflow the tiny three-room flat, Director Charles Walters shuffles words, pranks and players in and around greater Tokyo with a perfectly relaxed air. Hutton, a quizzical comic talent packed into a skyscraper frame, hilariously displays a pained embarrassment over his skill as a wiggly-hipped 30-mile walker...
