...Died. Vincent Massey, 80, Actor Raymond's elder brother, longtime Canadian diplomat and Governor-General from 1952 to 1959; of pneumonia; in London. A devoted nationalist in a divided land searching for identity, Massey spent a lifetime at home and abroad championing the idea of Canada's "Canadianness"-a nation distinct from its U.S. good neighbor and Franco-British forefathers. In that cause, he gave an added dimension to the largely ceremonial office of Governor-General, using every ribbon-cutting, banquet, trip and state function to insist that "what we do should have a Canadian character.

Cleverly camouflaged by Vincent Price's remarkable singing voice (which Who's Who sees fit to label "baritone"), the score to Married Alive is a tolerable item. But Jule Styne and E. Y. Harburg, who wrote it, should be capable of better. Harburg's lyrics pale beside Jamaica; for the creator of Finian's Rainbow, they are pure embarrassment.

...Norman Vincent Peale occasionally watches Lucy, Bonanza and The F.B.I. Van Cliburn often unwinds between practice sessions or before performances with afternoon soap operas. So does Artur Rubinstein, who on request can unravel the complicated plots of a half dozen of the soapers. ("Those organs!" says Rubinstein, holding his nose and unmistakably imitating their quavering tone.) William Buckley says that he finds no time for TV, but Chicago Lawyer Newton Minow, the former Federal Communications Commission chairman who described TV as a "vast wasteland," still watches fairly regularly. Among his favorites: Get Smart...
...devised by Dr. Vincent J. Freda and Dr. John G. Gorman of Columbia University, working with Dr. William Pollack of Ortho Research Foundation, the new technique is to vaccinate the mother immediately after the birth of her first Rh-positive child with a blood fraction containing other people's anti-Rh antibodies. These stifle development of a lifelong "active" immunity and in stead provide her system with a short lived "passive" immunity, and her system is far less likely to develop virulent antibodies. So far, reports Ortho, of 825 women treated with the fraction, only one became sensitized...
