While slipping into her summer-stock Silk Stockings at San Diego, leggy (39 in. from hipbone to toe) Juliet Prowse, 24, obliquely discussed her durable relationship with Frank Sinatra. Although allowing that he might consider her "dingaling" and perhaps had "flipped," the sinuous dancer was hardly ready to spill the banns. In the argot of the Rat Pack, explained she, "flip" means "to like someone an awful lot but not necessarily to fall in love. It's more like an urge...
When the boys come home?15-year-old Christopher from Fordham Prep, the middle three from St. Augustine's parochial school?they go to their mother and spill out the news of the day; but they respect their father's privacy, since his threads break on interruption, while hers do not.

When you're in the air, you're just like an airplane. You can feel the wind and the air lift you up. You even hit air pockets. One time the wind turned me absolutely upside down and I landed on my back. That was my fault...
...Winston Churchill, 85, half-American but the most English of Englishmen, again seemed indestructible. He took a spill in the bedroom of his London home, broke a small bone in his back. Doctors consigned him to bed for a few weeks, said that the injury was not serious. Another bulletin was issued by his daughter, Mary Soames, who reported: "Sir Winston is bored." But the medics were clearly worried by his slow mending and "disturbed" nights...
