...Second Time Around, with Director Vincent Sherman to spur her flair for foolery, Debbie corrals a herd of yaks in what might otherwise have proved just one more way-in western. She plays a young "widder lady" from back East who arrives in Arizona, signs on as a ranch hand and runs through the tenderfoot routine-but in style. When she climbs up one side of a horse, she falls down the other. When she tries to wrangle a calf, she ends up flat on her face in the barnyard muck. When she shingles a roof, she rolls...

...times, hired the best of U.S. architects (Philip Johnson at St. Anselm's, Marcel Breuer at St. John's) to design new churches and cloisters. The Trappist monastery of Our Lady of Genesee near Rochester, N.Y., has its own fallout shelter and volunteer fire department. St. Vincent's runs its own radio station, probably is the only U.S. monastery to have a monk with the official title of public relations director. In the interests of modern efficiency, North Carolina's Belmont Abbey has forsworn some customary monastic pursuits: 15 years ago, all of Belmont...
