...Last week Anthropologist F. Clark Howell of the University of Chicago told about extracting thousands of stone tools from what was once a lake bed in the Southern Highlands. The site was discovered in 1951 by a Johannesburg school principal, but not much was done about it until last summer when Dr. Howell arrived with a small expedition (his wife and two graduate students) and hired 35 natives at $1.50 a week...
Picked for a Patsy. To bolster his case, O'Malley retreated to New York and started looking for a traveling companion. The National League's train and plane fares for a summer schedule would shoot up as much as $35,000 per team if two teams went West. The cost of accommodating only one California club would have been prohibitive. O'Malley had already picked out his patsy. Horace Stoneham's New York Giants were going broke up in the Polo Grounds. O'Malley simply called San Francisco's Mayor George Christopher, invited...
Last year Schleppey tried to retire to his 150-acre farm, but the composing-room wars in Massachusetts brought him back on the job. This summer Schleppey will have a cataract removed from his left eye, afterwards wants to do nothing but paint pictures and write a book on modern art.

Though Marjorie (Natalie Wood) is deprived of that mad moment of youthful abandon with her lover (Gene Kelly), she at least avoids ending up with grey hair, suburbia and a stuffy lawyer. Instead she goes up to re-examine the summer resort South Wind, spends a few minutes staring at the still irresponsible Kelly, and decides to leave him and his world forever. "Say, you've really grown up, haven't you," says the resort manager (George Tobias). Retorts Marjorie, with an ever-so-meaningful glance: "Yes, I think I have...
...Christian will not contain much that is new for those who have passed through the illuminating fires of Hum 5 or Phil 1b. But the apalling atavistic rites that drew earnest millions to Madison Square Garden last summer, and the pietistic claptrap emanating constantly from the White House indicate that Russell's rationalistic pamphleteering is still far from superfluous. Neither the great mass of people nor their highest leaders have evidently yet caught up with the thought of the eighteenth century. Russell performs a real service by reiterating the unrefuted arguments of Voltaire and Hume which, seemingly out of sheer...
