Eydie (pronounced Ee-dee) Gormé, 25, had a solid record hit in Too Close for Comfort (ABC-Paramount), and another is coming up strong in one of those too-innocent-for-comfort ditties called Mama, Teach Me to Dance.

The Lancet occupies a place all its own in the affections of the medical profession. Says one G.P., paying it the ultimate tribute: "It's the only medical journal I've ever heard of that one's wife can actually read...
