Perhaps the greatest Yard imposter ever was Tarzan. Once upon a time in an early fall night about ten years ago, Young says a perfect Tarzan call emanated from a window in Matthews North at exactly 11:17 p.m. That call went largely unnoticed. But then Tarzan continued the next night, and the next and the next. Absolutely no one--with the exception of a group of four or five students in Matthews--knew who was doing it. By mid-October about 200 to 300 students would gather every night around Matthews at 11:17 to hear Tarzan yell...

Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys holds title to the rambling Spanish colonial house Edgar Rice Burroughs built in Bel Air with profits from Tarzan. Rod Stewart resides with Britt Ekland not far away in a demi-chateau with a formal garden and a warehouse or so of rare French glass.

NASA scientists have yet to find either maidens or monsters on the Red Planet, but their epoch-making explorations increasingly suggest that there may be more on Mars than rocks. Though the Viking 1 lander has yet to discover the organic compounds that would enable scientists to say with any confidence that there is life out there, it has sent back evidence that processes usually associated with life on earth also take place on Mars. Says Harold Klein, leader...
...missed step. The film, which like Part 1 is a patchwork of old MGM movie clips, made its debut at Manhattan's Ziegfeld Theater with the help of a chorus line of venerable hoofers (Donald O'Connor, 50, Cyd Charisse, 53, and Marge Champion, 52), one retired Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller, 71) and a true MGM golden-ager, Cory Grant, 72. But the stars of the evening were the narrators of the film: Actor-Dancer Gene Kelly, 63, and Astaire, who later adjourned to a lavish postscreening birthday party to which 900 had been invited. The festivities were vintage...
