...retains fond memories of French Actress Agnes Laurent, 26, although she once bopped him. Not so for Cinema Scion Arthur Loew Jr., 35, who was rushed to the emergency room of the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital to have nine stitches taken in his profile after the quick-firing actress slung a snifter of brandy at him during a similar tantrum at a Hollywood restaurant "because Arthur kept needling me." After filing a criminal assault report, which he later declined to press, Loew maintained that Miss Laurent's charms escaped him. "She has reddish hair," he said...
...Racing to beat Wimpenny and his crew to the historic flight are two other British flying clubs. Southampton University aerodynamics students have built Sumpac, which has an 80-ft. wing span and also uses a pusher propeller. Their pilot is longdistance Runner Martin Hyman, who pedals in a low-slung cockpit while reclining on his back. Sumpac, which made its maiden flight one week before Puffin, is still given to ground loops and violent yaws that its pilot is unable to control...
...bold idea, for Moore's recent robust and rugged style would probably be in startling contrast to the varied elegance of the four surrounding buildings: the low-slung theater originally designed by the late Eero Saarinen, Max Abramovitz' travertine-columned Philharmonic Hall, Wallace K. Harrison's fluted Metropolitan Opera House, Pietro Belluschi's Juilliard School of Music. The center's governing committee got Moore to look at the site, and last week, after Yorkshire-born Sculptor Moore pored over a model of the site, he agreed to take on what should be the most formidable...
...Only one collision marred the 46th running of the Indianapolis 500, the fastest Memorial Day race-and one of the safest-in history. As usual, speed outstripped design: only 15 of the 33 low-slung racing cars that started managed to last the punishing 500-mile distance. A minor melee on the 19th lap knocked four cars out of the race, sent Driver Jack Turner to the hospital with a broken hip and a cracked toe. An early dropout was the 1961 winner, A.J. Foyt, whose Bowes Seal Fast Special threw a wheel at the 75-mile mark. The early...
Moss had hoped for rain ("I do better in the wet"), but a bright sun warmed the crowd of 72,000. Settling into the cockpit of his low-slung, pale green Lotus, Moss joshed Rival Graham Hill, who was piloting a faster BRM: "Don't try too hard, Graham, or you'll blow it up." He screwed in his earplugs, snapped his helmet strap and adjusted his goggles. "Hey," he yelled to Mechanic Tony Robinson. "Where's my chewing gum?" Robinson handed him a stick. Moss waved. "Here goes," he said. Then, exhaust crackling fiercely, he roared...
