While slipping into her summer-stock Silk Stockings at San Diego, leggy (39 in. from hipbone to toe) Juliet Prowse, 24, obliquely discussed her durable relationship with Frank Sinatra. Although allowing that he might consider her "dingaling" and perhaps had "flipped," the sinuous dancer was hardly ready to spill the banns.

...Convention and Visitors Bureau heard itself say for the eighth straight year, "is a summer festival." As the humidity mounted on the sticky streets, the egregious slogan was resurreced at an air-conditioned Waldorf-Astoria luncheon, and a new queen was anointed by the mayor.

While in Rome waiting to start, she was immortalized by Italian Painter Gioacchino Parlato as she sat for the newest version of the old classic: a portrait of artist and model...
Spots on the Surface. Children produce compositions by placing paper over coins and rubbing the paper with a pencil; Ernst has used the same technique, jrot-tage, to inspire him. But whatever he takes an impression of-perhaps the sinuous grain of a piece of wood-is merely a ''starting point, a surface with some spots on it on which the imagination can play...
