...clear enough from its Manhattan performances to cover expenses. The lukewarm support for modern dance at home makes it impossible for it to afford anything but the scantiest scenery; the dancers even make their own costumes. To make ends meet, Taylor & Co. will depart this month on their twelfth tour abroad, where they draw six times as many people a year as they...
Five years ago, the total prize money on the pro golf tour amounted to $ 1,791,816. Next year it will hit $5,000,000-which works out to $25,000 a head for the 200 pros on the tour. A fellow could put himself into a way-up tax bracket merely by winning one tournament: the $250,000 Westchester Classic, whose first prize will be $50,000. Or he could try to win them all-in which case his gross would be $1,000,000. Or he could just plug along, enjoying the exercise. If he finished no better...
Forks for Dandies. In 16th and 17th century England, lucky lordlings dined with Apostle spoons given to them as baptismal gifts.

Flabbergasted by the girl's resemblance to his late beloved wife, the millionaire instantly invites both Caine and MacLaine to dine in his private apartments, and after dinner is absurdly pleased to toddle off with Shirley on a tour of the Arab quarter. With the coast clear, Caine simply ducks back into the millionaire's flat and steals the priceless bust of a Ming empress...
...conviction grew in the creative writing course that he taught at Manhattan's Walden School. There, Lewis developed a profound respect for the spontaneity and grace with which youngsters can compose poetry. In 1964, he spent ten months on a tour of English-speaking countries that took him through the British Isles, Africa, India, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Canada and most of the United States. From schools, from the secret notebooks of children too shy to recite, and from the mouths of children too young to write, he collected 3,000 poems or almost-poems, the best...
