...Rome, where strip shows are forbidden, natives find the best show is to sit at a sidewalk café on the elegant Via Veneto and sip espresso while Italian beauties sway by. There are other forms of culture too: Carmen, Bohème and Aida, with live camels, horses and elephants, will be given on an outdoor stage in the Baths of Caracalla (July 2-Sept...
...Dorothy Kilgallen. "Imagine two papers writing me up at the same time. I can hardly wait for the Christian Science Monitor to jump into the act." Last week the New York Post began a less-than-loving series about Dorothy, star of the Hearst empire, as headline reporter, gos sip columnist ("Voice of Broadway"), television personality (What's My Line?), radio chatterist (Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick] and homemaker (a husband, three children and a 22-room Manhattan town house).

His U.S.-built MS light tanks-known to Crisp and his men as "Honeys"-mounted 37-mm. guns, whose shells bounced off the heavy German panzers like peas...
Ever since Syria united with Egypt 21 months ago, the Syrian presidential palace in Damascus has been little more than a place where local politicians sip coffee while carrying out the long-distance orders of others. But last week the slouching sentries were snapping as never before. Egypt's Nasser had sent up his own commander in chief, Abdel Hakim Amer, on a special mission from Cairo-to make a restless partner happier with its lot. No longer was there any pretense that Syrians were running their own show...
