THERE is something about covering a sports assignment that stirs memories of youth, fresh air, rising early to get some extra warm-up time before the game. Correspondent Peter Range had that sensation in Technicolor as he spent last week with the current issue's cover subject, Don Shula of the Miami Dolphins. Range, like many journalists a night person, had to switch to "Shulatime," which means attending Mass and having breakfast before sunup. "After three days," says Range, "I felt like a clean liver again...
...vivacious talker with a honeyed Georgia drawl off-camera, Hopkins on-screen cast shrewd eyes on her leading men. One of her early hits was Director Ernst Lubitsch's Trouble in Paradise (1932). She heightened her stardom with the title role in Hollywood's first full-length Technicolor feature, Becky Sharp (1935), and the controversial These Three (1936).

FOLLOWING THE LATEST stage trend of religion-mongering, Arthur Miller has given us yet another modernization of the Bible, specifically the early portion of Genesis.

Here the Tramp criss-crosses paths with the beautiful girl and the eccentric millionaire. She thinks that Chaplin must be wealthy as well as kind--after all, she's heard him getting out of a limousine. Smitten by love, he can't bring himself to explain that...
...Anderson, while still working under Drew Pearson, who in 1966 exposed the misuse of campaign funds by Senator Thomas Dodd; the Connecticut Democrat was then censured by the Senate and defeated by the voters. Anderson was the first to report that California Republican George Murphy remained on the Technicolor Inc. payroll while serving in the Senate; Murphy lost the next election. The columnist also dug up many of the facts in the case of the late Washington Fixer Nathan Voloshen and Martin Sweig, aide to then House Speaker John McCormack, who used McCormack's office for profitable influence peddling...
