...week. Israeli soldier girls, led by Lieut. Yael Dayan, daughter of the former chief of Israel's armed forces, helped them move their belongings into the neat, three-room concrete cottages on the spring-green Judean slopes. There was still the familiar hard readjustment: "I lived in a third-floor apartment-and now look," exclaimed a clerk from Budapest, thrusting out hands blistered by operating a pneumatic drill with a road-building crew. But now newcomers are guaranteed 250 days' work at regular wages instead of the old immigrant's dole, and promised their own individual plots...
Molar gone, Ike moved along to the hospital's main building, and the same third-floor VIP suite where he recovered 21 months ago from ileitis. Next morning appeared three of the neurologists who were called in after his stroke-Georgetown's Dr. Francis M. Forster, Columbia's Dr. H. Houston Merritt, and Walter Reed's Lieut. Colonel Roy E.

He finished breakfast, casually went upstairs to the third-floor billiard room, where he usually played each day after breakfast. But instead of playing billiards, Bob Young took a double-barreled 20-gauge shotgun and sat in a chair. Carefully he set the gun between his knees, placed the barrels against his head, and pulled both triggers. He left no note, and shocked friends could only ask in amazement: "Why?" But close associates could readily...
...Still's works, Albright Director Smith made a direct approach, found Still in his third-floor walk-up Manhattan studio. With 40 canvases on hand, Still placed only four against the wall. Topmost was the 9-ft.-5½-in. by 13-ft. Red and Black, in Still-like hot red. velvety black and stalactites of white. Director Smith bought it on the spot (estimated price: $5,000 to $7,000).
