...skidded on a Moscow street; Comic Art Carney, 47, resting in a Hartford (Conn.) sanitarium after what his manager called "nervous tension, depression and a lot of things I won't go into" forced him to abandon his role in Broadway's The Odd Couple; TV Actress (Peyton Place) Dorothy Malone, 35, mending in Hollywood's Cedars of Lebanon Hospital after a dangerous seven-hour operation to remove massive blood clots from her lungs...

All anybody knew for sure, as the Southern Breeze lay at anchor off colorful Cape Cod that afternoon, was that among the fresh foodstuffs taken aboard at Hyannisport were several boxes of a body-building breakfast cereal called Fruit Loops...
