...guests and reported by the Washington press in 34 words. Subsequent White House brides from Elizabeth Tyler in 1842 to "Princess" Alice Roosevelt-who envisaged a "comparatively quiet family affair" and wound up with 1,000 guests in 1906-have sought with diminishing success to elude the tidal wave of publicity that inevitably engulfs a First Family wedding...
...ENDLESS SUMMER. Two California surfers prowl the world in a studious documentary on the quest for the perfect wave...
Back at Prairie Lodge last week, under the peaks of Baldy and Old Scab, Douglas and his bride appeared blissfully unconcerned by the headshaking on the Potomac.

Czechoslovakia is the latest country to have splashed up a new wave of fresh, original films by a coterie of talented directors and writers. "It's not a wave, it's a flood," proudly says Jan Kadar, whose The Shop on Main Street (co-directed by Elmar Klos) won this year's Oscar as the best foreign film.

Beam Switchyard. For the remainder of the two-mile journey, most of the energy imparted to the electrons by the radio wave is in the form of mass. As a result, each electron increases its mass 40,000 times, and has acquired about 20 billion electron volts (BEV) of energy by the time it reaches the far end of the copper tube. There, the extremely powerful stream of charged particles passes through a beam "switchyard," where giant electromagnets direct it into one or another of two target buildings, or split it between both...
