...Sunday evening shows to last out the summer, was mending in a Manhattan hospital after removal of a chronic duodenal ulcer that had plagued him for some 25 years; Driver Stirling Moss, 30, bedded in a London hospital with two broken legs, a broken nose and a crushed vertebra after cracking up in a practice spin for the Belgian Grand Prix-but promising, as befits the world's best hell-for-rubber speed merchant, that he will go "straight back to racing" when his injuries heal...

Last week doorknob-bald Cinemidol Yul Brynner looked more dashed than dashing after he tried some Cossack-style horsemanship for MGM's The Brothers Karamazov, swooped too low, fractured a vertebra. And Cinemactress Rita Hayworth kicked up her heels during the Pal Joey shooting, got sent to the showers with a gimpy tendon...
