Silent Night, Lonely Night (by Robert Anderson) tells of two people in a New England inn on Christmas Eve. Strangers in adjacent rooms-Barbara Bel Geddes has a son in a prep-school infirmary near by, Henry Fonda a wife in a mental sanitarium up the hill-they come together out of loneliness, are at first trivially autobiographical, then more and more confidingly so. They have a drink with newlyweds, look back on marriage that has come to grief, resist pity and show twinges of self-pity, talk of love and resist sex. The woman, it turns...
...British sculptors have gained more fame as a group than all of their forerunners put together. Their grand old man is Henry Moore (TIME, Sept. 21), but other stars of the movement are still in their 20s and 30s. Among the youngest and newest to fame are two modelers of heavily textured, postsurrealist, gloomily playful figures: Eduardo Paolozzi, 35, and Elisabeth Frink...
Warned by the Better Business Bureau, police forwarded photos of two Lass "Picassos" to Picasso himself, and the master labeled both fakes. Museum experts declared the older pictures largely student efforts, with signatures clumsily painted in.

...points in three years to smash Wilt Chamberlain's record by 208 points. By his senior year, some 150 colleges from Princeton to Hawaii were after him ("They woke me up in the morning; they got me out of class"), but he chose Ohio State. Last year, in two scrimmage games against the varsity, the phenomenal freshman unhinged his elders by nicking home 92 points. Giddy with anticipation, Coach Fred Taylor began drilling Ohio State in an offense that could be draped around the shoulders of his future star when he moved up to the varsity. Last week...
Coach Taylor need not have lost any sleep. Next night against Memphis State, Lucas was a spring-legged hotshot. In one span of 77 sec., he scored 8 points (2 tap-ins, 4 foul shots), finished with 34 points in his team's 94-55 victory. Two nights later against Pittsburgh, Big Luke was the key of Ohio State's tight man-to-man defense. On offense, he roved the pivot, scoring 24 points (with a fantastic shooting average of 73% from the floor), directing teammates in his deep, sober voice ("Come on in, John, come in"). Final...
