...neon night caves along Hollywood's Sunset Strip, the smooth-talking fellows with the gleaming teeth no longer wink and say, "Come up and see my etchings." Last week, as the sun picked up the trine of Jupiter and Uranus, the new line was "Let's compare horoscopes," and many a forthright Virgo walked away enchantedly on the arm of a leering Libra...
...younger brother. He appointed Nhouy his Vice Premier, then made the remarkable announcement that the younger man would do most of the governing. The two brothers last week sat silently together on the embankment of the serpentine Mekong River, their chins resting on their canes, awaiting the fiery sunset.

...training at Harvard from one of the fathers of modern architecture, Bauhaus Founder Walter Gropius, but he now casts a baleful eye on the master's own early work.

Last week the Southern California Dental Hospital stood as a glittering, $1,750,000 glass-and-marble monument to Hay's initiative. On Sunset Boulevard, hard by Los Angeles' "hospital row," it is the nation's (perhaps the world's) first hospital built exclusively for dentistry. And it was as empty as a freshly prepared dental cavity. Hay's planning had foreseen everything-except how to get patients in. Dental cowardice is a common ailment...
