...feelie" film envisioned by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World (see BOOKS), the process is triggered by soundtrack blips, which release odors through a maze of pipes to the audience-30 odors in 90 minutes for The Scent of Mystery, including flowers, roasting chestnuts, brandy, coffee, shoe polish (the villain will be trapped by smell clues). Mike Jr. will spend $1,000,000 (with United Artists) on shooting the film in highly scented Spain. The movie will include a brief appearance at the end by Todd's stepmother-partner, Elizabeth Taylor.

In the Ninth Congressional District, Democrat Coya Knutson is beset with family and factional problems, but is expected to win narrowly over Odin Langen, a big, friendly Scandinavian state representative who should be right down the Ninth's alley. In the Third (near Minneapolis) District, crotchety Democrat...
