...Actually, the fair's most conspicuous successes-and failufes-both clearly show that most people do not go out to Flushing Meadow for conventional entertainment. After all, they reason, they can go to a show in Manhattan. What does lure them to the fair is its impressive array of industrial and cultural pavilions-nearly all admission-free. More visitors (28%) comment on its "educational value" than any other aspect of the fair save its sheer "magnitude." Judging from the lines in front of the G.E., IBM, G.M. and Ford pavilions, the average fairgoer wants to goggle at scientific wonders...
Golden Girl. Another hidebound type is Britain's strapping Honor Blackman, 37, who became celebrated for the array of leather suits, jackets, trench coats and boots that she sported in a Freudian private-eye TV series called The Avengers. As a result, so many women demanded leather garments in Britain that the price of shoes went up. Honor plays Pussy Galore, the leather-sheathed leader of an Amazonian flying circus, in Goldfinger, the new James Bond thriller. Another face from Britain in Goldfinger belongs to Shirley Eaton, 27, blonde alumna of endless Carry On . . . comedies. No leather for Shirley...
Whittle-Proof Desks. Though the main reason for the industry's growth has been the population explosion, new approaches to education also have a lot to do with it.

At Fontana, Calif., this fall, fifth and sixth graders will watch pretaped lessons on marine biology on closed-circuit classroom TV screens. Another new departure is a device that permits instant testing of student comprehension by having the students push response buttons after lectures...

The most imposing array of rocketry assembled outside Cape Kennedy includes the TIROS and Telstar satellites, Scott Carpenter's Mercury capsule with a dummy of the astronaut inside, the 90-ft.-high Titan II-Gemini rocket and spacecraft, and a foretaste of the future: models of the butt end of the monster rocket Saturn V, its Apollo capsule, and Lem, the lunar excursion module that is supposed...
...sophisticated new techniques in "psychobiography" (analysis of handwriting, paintings, drawings, dreams), "psychology and biography have become almost inseparable." To demonstrate what a psycho-biographer can do when he sets his intuitions to work, Psychologist Kiell presents a series of post-mortem analyses of famous Americans as seen by an array of psychologists and psychiatrists. Most of them read like psychiatric small talk overheard at a literary cocktail party...
