Last week the tuneless terror blew into Hollywood with a $35,000, ten-week contract to make his first movie, Hound Dog Man. In the tradition of his trade, screaming hordes of bobby-soxers were on hand to greet him at the airport (where they broke a car window and almost put out one of his eyes) and at a concert in the Hollywood Palladium. All of this leaves Bob Marcucci, 29, feeling like a waxworks Pygmalion, but without worries about the future. When Fabian grows old-18 or 19, that is-he will still have the movies...

Last week, breaking under the strain, Giulia Orano begged the Roman press to help rescue her and her husband from "terror and desperation . . . decay, disorder and dirt." Only the Communist L'Unitd gave her space and grudging, lukewarm support. In all of Italy there are 300 leprosy victims confined and under treatment, but an estimated 2,000 are hiding out (and therefore going untreated) because they fear a fate like Orano...
