...last U.S. hope was doused in the tepid water of the Olympic swimming pool, where the Australians turned out to be not only dangerous, as expected, but downright homicidal to U.S. hopes. The U.S. woman most dramatically in the swim was the Walter Reed Swim Club's Shelley Mann, who led a U.S. sweep of the 100-meter "butterfly. U.S. men, expected to score heavily, were swamped in the foam of their hustling hosts. Murray Rose, a 17-year-old Aussie who tries a seaweed diet and even hypnotism to help him along, sliced through the water...
Girls of Summer (by N. Richard Nash) concerns five people in Manhattan who inhabit or run in and out of a bohemian garden apartment. There is a mixed-up woman of 30 (Shelley Winters), her mixed-up 18-year-old sister, a mixed-up male teacher of ballet, the sister's mixed-up young hipster admirer, and a brash, cocky intruder who drives a Jaguar, sneers at art, and gets involved with both sisters.

Coleridge, "in his finest vein," stole...
...know what is true or false about most of Dumas' life. His autobiography is no help: over 1,000,000 words in length, it covers only the early years of his career. Now Scriptwriter Guy Endore (who, according to his blurb, "reminded his classmates of the young Shelley") solves the problem by arguing that the legends help to reveal the man. He has collected them all into a gigantic bouillabaisse of a book which gives the impression of being organized by an excited jackdaw. It is called a novel, presumably to allow the author to use any colorful incident...
