...might have been scripted by Alfred Hitchcock, but the absence of cameras and crew made the scene one of the scariest ever played by Actress Maureen O'Sullivan, 57. Alone in her bungalow in Weybridge, Surrey, after Daughter Mia Farrow, 23, had breezed off to London for the week, Maureen was asleep when two bandits burst into her bedroom, gagged and trussed her with nylon stockings, methodically ransacked the place, and escaped into the night with $13,200 worth of brooches, rings and necklaces. It took her half an hour to free herself and phone the police. Luckily...
PERHAPS the scariest aspect of President Pusey's commentary was his assertion that it is the job of the deans to straighten all this out. "Bringing students of this persuasion back to reality presents a new kind of challenge to education, to faculty certainly, but especially and with painful immediacy, perhaps to deans." With all due respect, the prospect of marching bravely to the new world, in a column headed by Messrs. Ford, Glimp and Watson, is not overly appetizing to most Harvard students. One suspects that the Deans, too, would find it unappealing...
...race itself was still two weeks away. Yet 225,000 fans turned out at Indianapolis' famed Brickyard to watch 56 drivers compete for 33 starting positions in what seems certain to be the fastest, scariest, and most intriguing Memorial Day 500 in history. For the nostalgic, who bemoan the passing of the old Offenhauser-powered roadsters that dominated the 500 for years, there was Lloyd Ruby, who hit 165.2 m.p.h. in his American Red Ball Special powered by a rear-mounted Offy. For patriots, unhappy that foreign "sporty car" drivers in foreign machines have won the last two 500s...
...Idiot." United Press International's Steve Van Meter, 20, agrees. After his tour as a 101st Airborne infantryman, he stayed on to take pictures. "A photographer has to be where the action is," he says. But for all the danger in the field, Van Meter found his scariest moments two weeks ago in the Tinh Hoi pagoda incident at Danang (TIME, June 3). "When you're out in the field, you always know there's your side and the other side. In Danang, I didn't have either side. The street stuff is ten times more...
...Wurdalak, longest and scariest episode in the picture, represents that hoary old horror, Boris Karloff, as an East European vampire who carries somebody's head around in a canvas sack, and one dark night, while everybody is sleeping, tears the throat out of his four-year-old grandson. Silly stuff, of course, but it's nice to know that a monster emeritus can somehow manage to eeeeeeeeek out a living...
