Career of Deadlines. Recharging is not all that easy. Last month, Brinkley finally took off for a week's vacation after what has probably been the most pulverizing year of newsbreaks (politics, assassinations, space shots) since he started reporting for his home-town Wilmington, N.C., Star-News in 1938. He booked himself into an Arizona dude ranch following a Tucson lecture. After only two days, he turned around disgustedly and flew home to New York: the weather was "lousy," and he couldn't stomach the group activities. Part of his difficulty, he adds, is that a career...
Boondogqles. What he dislikes about the business is what he calls the "star system"-the inability to go anywhere without being gawked at (people are surprised that he is 6 ft. 2 in. tall) and bugged for autographs. As early as 1960, he found that he could no longer cover presidential primaries because bystanders were paying more attention to him than to the candidates.

Since he provided the driving force behind One-Eyed Jacks, of which he was both star and director in 1961, Brando has essayed a series of character roles in a succession of failures: a brooding cowpoke in The Appaloosa, a self-righteous sheriff in The Chase, a cagey con-man in Bedtime Story. Once again in a film good enough to match his talents, he demonstrates conclusively...
Sophomore captain-elect Mike Cahalan was the star for Harvard's swimmers in the opening day of the Eastern Seaboards Championships yesterday at Yale as he took first in the 50-free in 21.6, a Harvard record. Harvard's Steve Krause set another record in the 500-free...
