...Chop & Smash. The Cam Pha raid, and raids on five other previously forbidden places in recent weeks, reduced the number of untouched targets in North Viet Nam to a mere 46. Most of those 46 are too insignificant (small factories, pint-sized petroleum dumps) to warrant the risk of U.S. lives; other potential targets, such as factories in downtown areas, are ruled out on humanitarian grounds. Of the major targets not yet hit, many will probably be bombed in time. The most likely remaining targets: the power station and railyards at Lao Cai, an important supply link with China; three...
This week, however, British mariners can take hope. At the same Clydebank shipyard of John Brown & Co., Ltd. where the Queens were launched, Queen Elizabeth II will smash a champagne bottle to send the Cunard Line's new est flagship down the ways.

As it turned out, Any Wednesday came in on rubber heels-a Broadway term describing a sleeper smash that confounds the handicappers...
...Smash or not, Sandy endured "the most horrible year of my life." At the time, she was breaking up with her lover of six years, Actor Gerald O'Loughlin, and falling in love with a prominent (and married) star. Second, she "was sick of Any Wednesday before it even opened." One of the stunts she had learned from Robards was to jigger with a script during a run. In Any Wednesday, she improvised to an indulgent and irresponsible extreme...
