...Pajama Party. After partition, Khanh was chosen by Diem as the first commander of South Viet Nam's fledgling air force, soloed after eleven hours' instruction (he still does some flying now and then). His first exposure to American military methods came in 1957, when he spent a study tour at the U.S. Command & General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kans. Back home again, Khanh was promoted to brigadier general at 32, later named chief of staff of the Vietnamese Joint General Staff -from which post he helped crush the abortive 1960 paratrooper revolt against Diem. Later Khanh...
...modern times, a six-mile feature of the Dubuque summer festival. The tug Coal Queen took an early lead, but the Mary soon pulled ahead, leaving the excursion liner Julie N. Dubuque II to finish third. Owner of the Coal Queen was Iowa's poet of the pajama game, Author-Playwright Richard Bissell, 51, a Harvardman you can always tell will go along gamely with whatever the city fathers dream up.

True love is the Belgian lass (Michele Mercier), a high-minded guide from the Low Countries. Obviously, the movie makes a negligible contribution to world amity and understanding, despite such gimmicks as a walk-on role by U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson. Stooped, sage and sober, the ambassador looks like...
...suburban Hopkinton. A motlier crew never trotted down a pike. "I'm trying to get back into shape," explained Konrad Ulbrich, onetime captain of the Harvard swimming team. "The guys at the bar bet me I couldn't do it," mum bled a red-eyed fellow in pajama bot toms. There was a doctor from Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, who talked about the "mental and spiritual uplift" of running to the point of physical collapse. And a college English teacher announced: "I'm a runner, so what am I supposed to do? Enter the Olympics...
