Brealcing-In Period. Clog devotees have also taken to the U.S.-made Dr. Scholl's exercise sandal, a wooden-soled scuff with the added attraction of a raised ridge at toe level, which is designed to slim ankles and strengthen leg muscles. The Scholl sandals tend to pitch the wearer forward, but Cecil Beaton does not care. Neither do Scholl-shod Jackie Onassis, Jean Shrimpton and all of England's Royal Ballet Company. Greta Garbo clomps around sidewalks in Swedish clogs; so do Dustin Hoffman and the trapeze troupe from Ringling Bros, circus...
...this devastating attack is Carew. He is a slim (6 ft., 170 Ibs.), graceful line-drive hitter who tops all major-league batsmen with a sparkling .356 average. Cat-quick, he has already tied a major-league mark by stealing home seven times this season. Behind him in the batting order comes Killebrew, 33, a chunky (6 ft., 210 Ibs.), balding veteran of 15 years in the majors, who is one of the most feared long-ball hitters in the game (total career home runs: 428). The very fact that Carew gets on base so often has helped Killebrew pile...
...asks Daughter Nathalie, "did Babel leave The Jewess unfinished?" Was it because, as she suggests, he could not resolve in himself the conflict he hoped to portray in Boris?

Babel's name may have been rehabilitated, but some of his work remains incorrigible...
Flight by Cattle Boat. Kerkorian does not care much for the thrill of the roulette wheel. He lives with his British-born wife and their two young daughters in a $250,000 ranch house next to Las Vegas' Desert Inn golf course. Only recently has the slim, dark-haired entrepreneur begun to show signs that the jet-set life might appeal to him. Last winter, he launched a 147-ft. motor yacht and traded up from a Lockheed Jetstar to a white-and-green DC-9 jet in which he installed a lavish office. It was the first such...
Prospects for an early package agreement between the Big Two, however, remained slim. The U.S. is said to be ready to agree to Egypt's demand that Israel should withdraw from the Sinai and Sharm el Sheikh. Washington also favors the return of the West Bank to Jordan, together with recognition of Jordan's rights in Jerusalem. But the Soviets and the Egyptians still insist that Israel quit all the lands conquered in 1967. Both Washington and Moscow, as a result of discussions, now agree that the frontier areas should be demilitarized and controlled by U.N. forces...
