Back from last year's varsity to fill supporting roles are senior Larry Melfa and junior Tom Menzel. Melfa has never been a starter, but Sheperd says he "looks solid this season and might help." Sophomore prospects are giant fireballer Ray Peters. -- 6'3" and 215 pounds -- and Bob Dowart...
Svetlana Stalina was not alone last week in winning her freedom from Russia. A Soviet appeals court lifted the three-year labor-camp sentence imposed last December on Buel Ray Wortham, 25, of Little Rock, Ark., who had been convicted of stealing an antique statue of a bear from a Leningrad hotel and of changing money on the black market (TIME, Dec. 30).

...remaining seven climbers reached the 17,300-ft. level by Feb. 26. One day later, all seven tried a 3,000-ft. dash to the summit.

Playboy also dipped into the ribald classics; despite constant mining, the Boccaccio and De Maupassant vein is still running strong. In the early days, name writers shunned Playboy. Today, Vladimir Nabokov, James Baldwin, Kenneth Tynan, Herbert Gold, Ray Bradbury and Ken Purdy regularly provide respectable material. This upgrading of fiction is largely due to Auguste Comte Spectorsky,* 56, who was hired from NBC by Hefner to bring some New York know-how and sophistication (a favorite Playboy word) to the magazine. "Spec" has done that and more. Last...
