...Cyril Connolly. Neither the idea nor the particular fates would ever have occurred to Maynard Wallace ("Wink1') Marshall, an urbane NBS nightly newscaster whose voice-charmed life demonstrates "how well a reasonably brainy man can do if he just doesn't use his brains.'' However. Wink does have an age problem, and it is all tied up with sex and suburbia...
Just Crazy. The dakkochan is the brainchild of Yoshihiro Suda, 27, planning chief for Japan's toymaking Tsukudaya Co. Last February Suda began experimenting with a U.S. made plastic-and-cardboard eye that appears to wink whenever the angle at which light hits it is changed.

"We are ready to hear you and to be heard by you." Quicker than a wink, Khrushchev plunked his glasses on his nose, whipped out a thick manuscript. He paid pointed tribute to President de Gaulle as the man who had not "bowed his head to the [German] occupiers." If France and the Soviet had only had a firmer alliance, he said, blandly ignoring his own country's 1939 pact with Hitler...
