...Rod darling. On our project, they're playing with McQueen, but I don't think they can pay the money . . . Candy, my angel. Do you want to come to dinner Thursday? Here's who I'm having: Bogdanovich, Evans, maybe Nicholson . . .Oh Bobby, hi, sweetheart. You want us to negotiate a deal right now? $500,000 against 10% of the gross-no. $250,000 plus...

Beck's been surrounding himself with mediocrities ever since it became clear he couldn't coexist with Rod Stewart; Bogert and Appice are competent journeymen, but then who's going to see them...
Once the state fair was the big event. Now the same kind of popcorn festivity animates the custom auto show. There will be nearly 70 such exhibitions this spring, from Medford, Ore., to Worcester, Mass. Last weekend alone, hot-rod shows were held in Fresno, Youngstown and Cedar Rapids.

Bench came back to win at bowling with a puny one-game score of 131, boasting that he was taking it easy on his hapless rivals. "Why, just yesterday," he crowed, "I rolled a 629 in a three-game practice series." Tennis's Rod Laver easily won the table-tennis finals, and Hayes used his long legs to run off with first-place honors in the 100-yd. dash with a tortoise-like clocking of 11.5 seconds. After the first day of competition, though, the leader was Auto Racer Peter Revson. Winner of both the swimming and tennis events...
