Radcliffe applications rose again this year to reach an all-time high of 2515, Patricia O'Connor, acting dean of Radcliffe admissions, said yesterday...
...Rose is a "civilized" Aborigine-which means that he was born under a roof. But the family "humpy" in Gippsland had no floor, no electricity, no toilet, no running water. And Rose's father, an itinerant "tent fighter" who made the rounds of country fairs and carnivals, boxing local stalwarts, died when Lionel was 15.

Died. Doretta Morrow, 42, onetime Broadway beauty, star in The King and I and Kismet; of cancer; in London. Blessed with a crystal soprano, she rose to stardom as Tuptim in 1951's The King and I, went to Hollywood in Because You're Mine with Mario Lanza, and returned to more cheers with Alfred Drake in 1953's Kismet-then in 1960 tossed it all aside to marry a London insurance executive...
