The bewildered beast was assigned to loll around while Hero Hugh O'Brian, 37, went tearing by with two battle companions in a scene from something called Ambush Bay, filming on location in the Philippines. O'Brian swashbuckled past on cue, but then the buffalo ad-libbed by charging the hero, tearing through his combat jacket with its horns, fracturing two of his ribs and leaving him out cold in an irrigation ditch.

Finally, Smith himself moved into the Dutch-gabled house at 8 Chancellor Avenue, which is the official residence of the Prime Minister...
Tears welled up in the eyes of Australia's Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies, 71. Said he: "I will do my best to uphold the finest traditions of this post." Named by Queen Elizabeth II to succeed the late Sir Winston Churchill as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, the ancient association of maritime towns on the southeast coast of England, Sir Robert may now receive 19-gun salutes at sea, as well as claim any wrecks and "fishes royal"-whales and the like-found around his new bailiwick. He may also sport the gold-encrusted admiral...
