...scored its second big kill of the week. Pushing north from Bongson, the pivotal hamlet on north-south Route 1, which almost fell to the Communists early last month (TIME, March 12), a battalion of South Vietnamese marines was hit by mortar fire and three battalions of Viet Cong shock troops. Falling back on a tenuous perimeter, the marines fought off ten "human wave" attacks over an eight-hour period before they were reinforced by a heavy-weapons company and air support. When it was all over, 137 Viet Cong were dead, v. five for the government (none American...
Wobbly Ways. That this noble couple is given to such human emotions would shock many of their fans. Indeed, though many of their followers like to think otherwise, the rumors that the flames of romance that Rudi and Margot kindle onstage also rage offstage are false. Margot is married to Dr. Roberto ("Tito") Arias, 46, former Panamanian Ambassador to Britain. Arias, who was shot by a political enemy in Panama last June, is paralyzed from the neck down, and Margot spends three hours on the train every day in order to visit him in the hospital in Buckingham shire, where...

...with a host of safety devices. Connecticut's Senator Abraham Ribicoff recently accused the auto industry of "dragging its feet in the field of safety measures," urged federal action. Congress has already authorized the General Services Administration to require, beginning in September 1967, 17 different safety items-from shock absorbing steering wheels to exhaust controls-on the 60,000 passenger vehicles it buys annually for the Government. Wisconsin's Senator Gaylord Nelson has introduced a bill that would require these same safety items on all new cars by 1968. Last week a Senate subcommittee began hearings...
...maintaining, "History doesn't disgust me. Old masters are my favorite painters." Manet's famous Déjeuner sur I'Herbe, in which nude models picnic contentedly with their fully dressed and well-known men about Paris, particularly attracted him. Rivers decided to achieve the same shock value; he persuaded his elderly mother-in-law, Berdie, to pose for 20 exacting, and mostly nude, examinations of anatomy. The result was almost as great a scandal as Washington...
