...attract more businessmen, Hamilton has spun off all financial news into a separate section with its own editorials, gossip column and a recently doubled staff of 50. Woman's Editor Susanne Puddefoot, 32, has disdainfully left the home behind and plunged into the thick of London affairs. "The Times has had an excessively masculine image," she says, "at a time when the differentiation between masculine and feminine is not so strong." To right the balance, she has run lively stories on everything from the troubles of immigrant women to a London matron falsely accused of shoplifting...
This time at Newport, the crucial moment (see diagram) came 2 min. before the starting cannon, when Cunningham, after crossing the line early, swung Columbia around to get back onside. Instantly, Mosbacher spun Intrepid's wheel; his foredeck crew ran up a jib to windward-and in a flash Intrepid cut inside Columbia to gain the right of way. When Mosbacher jibed and crossed the starting line, Columbia was hopelessly backwinded and 40 sec. behind...
Died. Vivien Leigh, 53, brilliantly versatile actress; after a long siege of tuberculosis; in London. A fragile (5 ft. 3 in., 100 Ibs.)

The Mark IV caromed off one wall, then another, bounced back and finally spun to a stop in mid-track - directly in the path of two other Fords, Mark II-model backup cars driven by Roger McCluskey and Jo Schlesser. "I didn't know if Mario was still in the car," McCluskey said later, "and I knew I would kill...
...Bernard Haitink, an assistant conductor and former second violinist of the Dutch Radio Orchestra, who had led the work not long before. "No," replied Haitink. "I'm not ready, and anyway, I'd like to stay alive." Hotter heads prevailed. Haitink conducted, and the familiar scenario spun to its happy conclusion: he was invited back by the Concertgebouw, soon began guest-conducting all over Europe and America, joined the Concertgebouw as a permanent conductor in 1961, took over as its music director in 1964. Today, at 38, he says: "I'm still alive...
