...Rolls boasts twin horizontal headlights, a lower hood, wider grille and hotter engine (around 270 h.p.). For the select minority who can afford Rolls prices (from $15,655 in the U.S. for the Silver Cloud II to $27,617 for the Park Ward), this was big news. But for Rolls-Royce Ltd. itself, autos are now little more than a sideline. Since World War II, the company has diversified into everything from rocket engines to nuclear propulsion systems for submarines.

Eagles, monkeys, cats, lions, woodchucks, hogs, pouter pigeons, turtles and horses make up a delightful menagerie that reported on the wind, beckoned to the thirsty, announced the presence of circuses, and symbolized the glory...
...medical show is called The Nurses (CBS), none of whom should ever have been registered. The commanding figure is a charge nurse (Shirl Conway) who has the voice and manner of a rich Connecticut matron with old money and old blood. The opening episode took place in a maternity ward and was full of knowing chatter about centimeters of dilation and uterine cancer. Women writhed in pain. One died on the operating table. The dialogue was as phony as the obstetrics. Charge Nurse: "Do you want it straight. Miss Lucas?" Some other time...
