Meanwhile, Patrick engineered a slick transatlantic crossruff. Starting with a girl who was unknown on either side of the ocean, Patrick billed Raquel to the European press as America's answer to Ursula Andress. European reporters lapped it up. Then Patrick shipped the publicity back to the U.S., where it was eagerly picked up by the American press. In 1966, Hammer Productions wished its friends a merry, merry Christmas by distributing 11-by-13 cards (3,000 of them) with Raquel's classic cave-suit pose on the front...
...Devils of Loudun on both Aldous Huxley's historical essay and John Whiting's play The Devils. The libretto sketches the facts surrounding the torture and execution of a Jesuit priest in a 17th century French provincial town.

Don John's two male attendants (Borachio and Conrade) balance. Hero's female ones (Margaret and Ursula). Claudio and Hero, on one hand, and Beatrice and Benedick, on the other, both find a rocky road to the wedding altar; and the two plots involving these pairs both hinge on deception and credulousness...
When she purchased her first supply of birth control pills last year, West German Housewife Ursula Knack, then 27, was a bit puzzled by the label on the bottle. Her doctor had prescribed "Eu-gynon," but the bottle was marked "En-zynorm" - an aid to digestion. Frau Knack simply concluded that the Pill must be sold under a disguised name be cause some people disapprove...
