...Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills is a green refuge from the crowded reality about it. Outside its high fences, the Long Island Rail Road rattles on its rounds and ordinary citizens endure the twice-daily war of commuting. Inside the club, the polite plunk of tennis balls, the whisper of sneakers on trim grass courts, the tinkle of ice in frost-beaded glasses still recall the long-gone white-flannel age of the courts.

And in the first libel suit that has yet included Confidential's 3,000 California distributors as well as the magazine, Screen Star Maureen (The Quiet Man) O'Hara asked for $1,000,000 in damages for a March story that claimed she once picked row 35 of Hollywood...
...Faint Whisper. The telescope is the baby of Dr. Alfred Charles Bernard Lovell, professor of radio astronomy at the University of Manchester. It was designed by Henry Charles Husband, and its cost (more than $2,000,000) was paid by the Nuffield Foundation and Britain's Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. Leading British companies vied to make the telescope as nearly perfect as possible. They succeeded so well that its moving parts (total weight 2,000 tons) sweep the great bowl across the sky as smoothly and inevitably as if the earth were moving...
