...Mexico communities near by. Los Alamos' young married couples (average age of the AEC staffer is 39) entertain each other at casual patio dinners where the talk is more dazzling than the food, throng to a suburbia-sized horde (146) of civic organizations ranging from the Flying Saucer Square Dance Club to the Military Order of Lady Bugs. Dress is studiously informal: a woman in hat and gloves is clearly going on a trip "outside." Except on scientific business or for shopping trips to Santa Fe (24 miles away by good highway), Los Alamos' residents seldom venture...
Divorced. Sir Laurence Olivier, 53 ; and Vivien Leigh, 47 (Antony and Cleopatra, Macbeth); after 20 years of marriage, no children; by decree nisi, in London, where in the same court, on the same day, Joan Plowright, 29, droll, saucer-eyed English actress (A Taste of Honey, The Entertainer), was divorced from Actor Roger Gage, 30, after seven years of marriage, no children. Both actions proceeded with classic Noel Cowardy coolness. Miss Leigh admitting adultery in Ceylon, Sir Laurence admitting adultery with Miss Plowright in London, and Gage admitting adultery in Helsinki. Court costs of the fourway, jet-speed split were...
...anarchic flings an assay of an ill-governed world, its rancid taste an assault on respectability. Less than a philosopher and more than a buffoon, Behan is chiefly an insatiable human being. He is no one's cup of tea who recoils from finding it sloshed into a saucer, no one's humorist who, for being outraged, can't be amused. If his people often have the rackety mirth of Burns's Jolly Beggars, and the cynical morality...
Cousteau's main concern is getting information from the deep, not interpreting it. His most recent invention is a two-man diving "saucer"' that operates free of the surface, maneuvers by electrically powered jets of water, can go down to 1,000 ft. In the works: an improved saucer that will reach 3,000 ft.; a tiny, two-man submarine that will stay down four days at 15,000 ft. Though he insists he is no scientist, Cousteau has the warm support of scientists around the world for his ceaseless searching of the sea. Concedes Director Roger Revelle...
...resulted from the blast "caused by the cosmonauts, who, before takeoff, arranged to blow up dumps of extra nuclear fuel after first warning the surrounding inhabitants" to flee. Those who looked back (e.g., Lot's wife) "were blinded and perished." A little nervously, the Literary Gazette prefaced this saucer-eyed silliness with the caveat that it "stands on the borderline of daring scientific guesswork and scientific fantasy...
