...husband bugs her bedroom, dynamites her mother, and climbs into a gorilla suit to turn her wedding party into a King Kong-sized disaster. Throughout it all, she remains radiant and ripe, a plum with aplomb that drove the critics wild...
Lone Regret. As their careers blossomed, the brothers agreed that each would go his own way until the time was ripe for them to form the quartet. At 21, Francis was accepted by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Joseph went on to distinguish himself as principal violist with the Boston Symphony and to record trios with Heifetz and Piatigorsky.

In the quarterfinals, Gonzales gave Rosewall something to think...
Nasakom Is No More. Sukarno man aged his comeback subtly. Outwardly he appeared submissive, while secretly calling in junior officers for sessions ripe with flattery and promises. The seeds of rivalry were quick to sprout. At the same time, he wooed and won Moslem groups long neglected by the govern ment. All the while, the Bung was practicing the traditional Indonesian musjawarah, a catharsis by conversation that ultimately leads to consensus. Last week Sukarno felt it had been reached...
