...release, he stands 6 ft. 3 in., weighs 212 lbs. and sports a 50-in. bust-bigger than Jayne Mansfield's and, strange to say, almost as voluptuously formed. What's more, even though he plays a country boy, Gordon's nails are exquisitely manicured, his teeth are expensively capped, and his wardrobe apparently includes a loincloth by Balenciaga. But he's tougher than he looks. In one scene he puts his fist through a paving stone (well, anyway, it looks like a paving stone) almost a foot thick. In another, he connects with an uppercut...
...much of the tooth seems to be inert that some dental surgeons hoped that a transplant would not set off rejection reactions. They thought it might be possible to graft teeth from one person to another in much the same way as the bloodless cornea of the eye can be grafted, and for essentially the same reasons. Some dentists at last week's meeting claimed successes in person-to-person transplants that have lasted from two to four years. But they had no X rays to show that the roots were still healthy. Soon, their colleagues predicted, the crowns...
Fact is, concluded Cornell University's Dr. Stanley J. Behrman, teeth are far from immune to the processes of graft rejection. Even their enamel, he said, may touch off an immune reaction. The root is slowly whittled away by scavenger cells in the bloodstream of the tooth's new owner, and is replaced with soft tissue or new bone, which is why the crown eventually falls...
...Angeles' Dr. Harland Apfel has tried six homotransplants (person to person), and all have failed. But he has done 350 autotransplants (with the patients' own teeth), and 97% are now successful. Homotransplants of teeth, with long-term success, will have to await the finding of safer and more effective drugs or new techniques to check the rejection process...
...also had to duck, just to stay alive. Midway in the last round, Mari-lynn's playing partner, Judy Kimball, missed a 3-ft. putt. Swinging her putter in teeth-grinding disgust, Judy sent it zinging right past Marilynn's ear (see cut). At least she had the sense to hold onto the handle. The penalty for throwing a club is $50, and at ladies' prices, that's no bargain. For winning the Titleholders for the second year in a row, Marilynn Smith collected $ 1,300. Mickey got $1,000, and Judy, who finished fourth...
