...outstripped design: only 15 of the 33 low-slung racing cars that started managed to last the punishing 500-mile distance. A minor melee on the 19th lap knocked four cars out of the race, sent Driver Jack Turner to the hospital with a broken hip and a cracked toe. An early dropout was the 1961 winner, A.J. Foyt, whose Bowes Seal Fast Special threw a wheel at the 75-mile mark. The early leader, Parnelli Jones-who earned the pole position with a dazzling qualifying speed of 150.370 m.p.h., first time anyone has lapped the 2½-mile track...
...went off to celebrate, flanked by Mike Todd Jr., son of Liz's third husband, and blonde Actress Annette Cash, his current steady. Wrote Columnist Walter Winchell, on hand to cover the event: "He stopped the show colder than a faithless wife's heart." Never one to toe the party line, Soviet Poet Evgeny Evtushenlco, 28 (TIME cover, April 13), stomped all over it with dancing slippers. To the cultural commissars who have banned rock 'n' roll and the twist, Evtushenko wrote in Literaturnaya Gazeta: "Let everybody dance the way he likes." To the Moiseyev dancers...

Whether he is rolling his eyes like berserk marbles, mincing archly in his tunic, or playing tick tack toe on the bare midriff of Lucienne Bridou (the nubilest Roman of them all), Mostel tickles playgoers into eruptive laughter. The show's music lacks distinction, but no one will seriously think of humming once the cast's six girls undulate onstage. Costumer Tony Walton wisely lets nature take top billing...
...others: official receptions for the Supreme Court, the Vice President and the Speaker, the Diplomatic Corps, the Cabinet, and the Military. *Walter Terry, the New York Herald Tribune's dance critic, invited to cover the performance, recalled that a toe dancer named Mile. Celeste had danced en pointe for an enchanted Andrew Jackson in the Cabinet Room in 1836 and had become a political cause celebre (an anti-Jackson cartoon implying frivolity in high places was titled "The Celeste-al Cabinet''). Four years later, the sensational Fanny Elssler, the great European ballerina, was so popular in Washington...
