Precocious. The streak has been going for nearly seven years. In 1961, a Los Angeles photographer spotted Craig and his younger brother Chris, then four and every bit as much of a freckled carrottop, and put them into commercials. Soon both boys were in demand as child actors. Craig has had child leads in Gunsmoke, Lassie and Run for Your Life, and in October he appeared in Star Trek. As actor and pianist, Craig has earned well over $200,000 so far, and he owns an apartment house in the Los Angeles suburb of Sherman Oaks...
...Yale. Although President Kingman Brewster agreed in theory with the idea of a coeducation week, he wanted it held much later--maybe in January or February.

Plimpton wrote of football players as sensitive people, worried about injuries and the challenge of younger, faster rookies, fearful of the day when the team could no longer use them, always inwardly satisfied by the crisp precision of a well-executed play. The Lions, playing themselves with obvious relish in the film, live up to the unfortunate image that the public expects-cretinous, backslapping behemoths...
Silone now lives in Rome, nurturing his aversion to politics, as well as rewriting and reissuing his novels. To ex-Communists and younger, unencumbered New Leftists, he is a veteran saint of the revolution for social justice and individual dignity. Yet, as keeper of the flame, Silone is an exceedingly human presence: Columnist Murray Kempton once described him as looking and talking like a tobacconist...
