She relaxes by playing tennis or taking long walks. When she and Director Michael Benthall worked on The Millionairess, she used to insist that he run around the Central Park reservoir with her every morning. "It nearly killed me," he recalls. "This time I refused. I'd have a heart attack...
Dexter's wavemaking apparatus is fairly simple. Hydraulic pumps force millions of gallons of water per hour into a concrete reservoir at the far end of the lagoon. Underwater gates spring open at intervals, releasing the water and generating the waves. The size of the waves is controlled by the amount of water pumped into the reservoir and no two curls are exactly the same. Riders can climb stairways directly to the waves instead of paddling out from shore. Though the fresh water is less buoyant than seawater, the difference to the surfer is negligible...

In Japan, 529,000 Coronas made between 1964 and 1968 have brakes that might malfunction because of rusting brake lines. Nissan executives also revealed that there are potential defects in 300,000 of their cars, including 39,000 of the 1969 Datsuns exported to the U.S. Other manufacturers listed shift levers that snap off, front suspensions that can be bent by rough roads, disk brakes that are not reliable and axle assemblies that...
