...tempers her preachments with ironic wit and a healthy interest in all circumstances that cause the hips to quiver. Her choreography is full of strangely natural distortions of movements from life-leaps and spread-eagle stretches, fluttering fingers, crawls, great sweeps of outstretched legs, pelvic rolls and caresses.* Her open-air approach to sex makes her company more masculine than most-though the soft little scrimmage in her new Secular Games manages to make even her strong male dancers look disturbingly dainty...
...Angeles authorities moved resolutely against the two surviving defendants. The prosecutor produced a witness who testified that he had once seen Lopez trying to sell ducks at an open-air market. But the defense attorney, who had taken the trouble to investigate the story, demolished the prosecution by proving that the witness, a convicted forger, had been confined in a hospital at the time when he claimed to have seen Lopez at the market.

...When it is completed in 1964 at a cost of $20 million, it will feature two 18-hole golf courses, a chain of fish-stocked ponds, an artificial 50-ft. waterfall, a 725-ft. ski run sprinkled with synthetic "ever-snow," a marine theater for bubbly underwater revues, an open-air music bowl seating 5000, a 120-ft. parachute jump, even an orchard where customers will be able to pluck fresh fruit right off the trees. It is an almost absurdly grandiose undertaking, but egg-bald Publisher Matsutaro Shoriki, 78, who dreamed it up, is not used to doing anything...
