Blood and Roses. Filmed at the Emperor Hadrian's villa outside Rome under the direction of Roger Vadim (And God Created Woman), this eerie tale of a lady vampire is the most subtle, careful and beautiful of the current crop of chillers. With Mel Ferrer...
...track and field stars had seldom looked better. Villanova's muscular Frank Budd sprinted 100 yds. in 9.2 sec. to smash Mel Patton's 1948 world record, oldest on the books. No fewer than 13 pole vaulters scaled 15 ft. California Schoolboy Ulis Williams, 19, chased Veteran Olympic Champion Otis Davis, 28, to the wire in the 440, finished only 0.2 sec. behind him. An unorthodox upstart from Southern California, Bob Avant, dived headfirst over the high-jump bar, somersaulted onto his back with a crunching thud after clearing 7 ft. to beat Boston University's John...
...Dash. So far this season, four men-San Jose State's Dennis Johnson, Villanova's Frank Budd, Oregon's Harry Jerome, Florida A. & M.'s Bob Hayes-have equaled Mel Patton's 13-year-old. 9.3-sec. record. Somewhere between Manhattan and Moscow, one of the quartet may well set a new mark.

Next night Eddie's pals, Mel Ferrer and his wife Audrey Hepburn, threw a party at the hotel. With half of Hollywood in the hall, Fisher sounded nervous. But an overflow audience forgave occasional flatfalls when he sang the second chorus of That Face! to Liz. She sat, hauntingly convalescent and subject to drafts in her well-cleaved evening dress, chatting with her physician, Dr. Rex Kennamer. Listeners were visibly moved; Eddie, who made a million by having the sort of face that middle-aged ladies want to put through college, probably will have no trouble financing a graduate...
Ever since 1948, skivvy-clad sprinters have strained to get a stride in front of Mel Patton's sizzling 9.3 sec. world record for the 100-yd. dash. Although ten men have matched his time,* no one yet has raced past Patton into the record book. But this year the old champ has a new, more dangerous challenger: San Jose State's cocky Dennis Johnson, a whippet-fast Jamaican who is undefeated in eleven straight races, and this month became the first runner in history to tie Patton's world record four times in a single season...
