...Linda Darnell, 40, fawn-eyed brunette who played the brazen heroine of Forever Amber Merle Roy Robertson, 43, her third husband, an American Airlines 707 captain; after six years of marriage, no children; on grounds of cruelty and adultery (she accused him of fathering an illegitimate child by a Yugoslav actress); in Los Angeles...
...gentlemen in question-an Italian, a Frenchman, a Yugoslav, a Greek -are the generally obscure writers who won Nobel Prizes (worth $51,158 this year) between 1959 and 1963.

Goulart managed to wangle an invitation for Tito to visit the booming inland city of Belo Horizonte. But that, too, was canceled in disgust by the governor of Minas Gerais state when he heard that Yugoslav security men insisted on the arrest of every Serbian and Croatian refugee in town. In desperation, Goulart wound up driving Tito 130 sweltering miles to the raw and sprawling town of Goiania, a must on nobody's list-only to be greeted by a row of grim, silent priests, each holding a crucifix wrapped in black crape...
