Married. Chubby Checker, 22, Negro rock 'n' roller who started the ball writhing a couple of years ago when he made the twist the dance of the hour; and Catherina Lodders, 21, devastating (37-23-37) Dutch model, Miss World of 1962; in a ceremony performed by the white pastor of the Temple Lutheran Church of Merchantville, NJ. The surprise guest turned out to be Chubby's mother, Mrs. Eartie Evans, who had opposed the interracial marriage at first but finally came round, deciding "if I couldn't beat them, I'd join them...

The corps de ballet wear costumes that come close to perfection in their imitation of nudity, and their dances have an angular brutality. Faust appears as the prisoner of a giant glob of seaweed, suspended above...
...pictures of them in their natural habitats, visited zoos to watch them in motion, measured their anatomies after they had died. So vividly did Barye give life to his tiny bronzes that his contemporary, the painter Delacroix, once said of him: "I wish I could put a twist in a tiger's tail like that man." Rodin, 44 years younger, claimed Barye as his teacher and artistic father...
