...visible anger. "When you took office in 1952," Maher asked accusingly, "did you expect you had a civil-service obligation to stay there forever?" Curry jumped to his feet, and gesturing angrily toward Maher, shouted his reply, concluding: "I let it be known that when I came to my 70th birthday, I would gladly walk out of office." There was, one feels, a fundamental irony, in Hayes's appeal to the other Councillors to avoid discussing personalities during the stormy meeting. For personalities was the name of the game, and, more than anyone else, Mayor Hayes should have known. They...
Nonetheless, Evgeny Evtushenko, the bad boychik of Soviet letters, was at it again, this time kicking up a few vaguely dangerous poetic heels at the party during a Moscow meeting on the 70th anniversary of the birth of the great Russian village poet, Sergei Esenin. In his 52-line Letter to Esenin, Evtushenko raged oratorically on about how the "red-cheeked Komsomol leader thunders with his fists at us poets and wants to knead our souls like wax."

But he walks with the same alert, catlike grace, and he still looks fit to fight his way out of a telephone booth -or most any place else. As Dempsey celebrated his 70th birthday in his Manhattan restaurant last week, they brought out a cake ablaze with a candle for each year. Jack got them all with one blow...

But somehow he seemed anything but resentful. At an 18th century costume ball for 600 given by Countess Sheila de Rochambeau at her chateau outside Paris, the duke in lace jabot and Royal Stewart tartan kilt danced the night away with his duchess, an enchantress ablaze in shimmering red cloak and white feathered wig designed by Yves St. Laurent...
