...turns out to have been a slender, buck-toothed teenager who probably died after a serious accident. A team of Egyptian scientists recently put King Tutankhamen through a medical scanner, generating 1,700 highly detailed three-dimensional images of the boy king's remains. Using an exact model of Tut's skull, three forensic teams then reconstructed the face behind the famous golden mask. The process is documented in a National Geographic Channel special, King Tut's Final Secrets, airing May 29. The images also debunk the notion that Tut was murdered.

...Porter and Rodgers, in a warehouse in Secaucus, N.J. (I'm happy to say that TIME deemed the event newsworthy enough for us to do a story on it.) In a program note, Viertel compares the unearthing of this goofy Gershwin farce "to Howard Carter's discovery of King Tut's tomb, if you can picture that august gentleman shoving aside the stone tablet to the inner sanctum and uncovering a quite fabulous rubber chicken...
