...major surgery, for permanent correction of Phillip's physical defects. For almost two years, no hospital would risk it because of court fights over Phillip's custody. But armed at last with full adoption papers affirmed by the state Supreme Court, Mrs. Culpepper took her adopted boy to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. There, during the summer, surgeons removed the nonfunctioning "left" kidney from Phillip Culpepper's right side...
...parts, about 10,000 extras, 100,000 costumes, at least 300 sets. One of them, the circus built for the chariot race in Rome's Cinecitta, was the largest ever made for any movie. It covered 18 acres, held 10,000 people and 40,000 tons of sand, took a year to complete, and cost $1,000,000. The race itself, which runs only nine minutes on the screen, ran three months before the cameras and cost another million.

...Mint. Dollar bills don't come out of them like bread from a bakery oven." This advice by Disk Jockey Dick Clark appears in a new book, Your Happiest Years (Rosho Corp.; $2.95), aiming sound moral advice at teenagers.

(Entrepreneur Clark also has an interest in Drexel Productions, a TV packaging firm, and may have connections with Jamie Records, other record companies, a talent agency, a record-pressing plant, and a production company named Clarkfeld.) Faced with the ABC ultimatum, Clark decided...
Speed in the Studio. At Porcella's urging, Zlatoff-Mirsky came hurrying out to Hollywood. He pronounced the pictures in excellent condition-while at the same time warning that another year of neglect would ruin them forever-took them away, and restored them all with "chemical solvents" in three weeks. Since proper restoration of deteriorated paintings can require as much as a year apiece, Zlatoff-Mirsky's speed was astonishing. At Lawyer Giesler's press conference, he refused to show the actual pictures but passed photographs about. There were also pictures of the most happy Folio himself...
