...Geneviève Bujold, who first caught the eye of moviegoers with a bit part in Alain Resnais's La Guerre Est Finie (TIME, Feb. 3, 1967), has the kind of fragile, elfin charm and doe-eyed allure that wins without wanting to. The name is pronounced Jahn-vee-jev Boo-johld. It is a name to remember...
...HOLLY was perhaps the first canonized auteur, after his tragic death in 1959. The number of Holly admirers has grown so steadily that Coral Records has managed to "discover" six albums-worth of material since the plane crash. Holly's style was the vehicle for the rise of Bobby Vee and Tommy Roe among others, and the early wave of the British sound in 1964, including a Beatles period, can be traced back to the shy Texan. The rolling beat of Peggy Sue and Tell Me How lived, as little else of the '50's did, well into...
...example of style triumphing alone, unsupported. Chantilly Lace, Big Bopper's Wedding, and Little Red Riding.

Stripe Down the Hood. At least, the new Formula Vee (for Volkswagen) class seems inflation-proof. Anybody who has a spare Beetle lying around the garage can turn it into a reasonable facsimile of a Grand Prix car-cigar-shaped body, roll bar and all-by buying a kit for $945. An extra $1,000 buys a brand-new Volkswagen engine, plus a special gearbox, rear axle and suspension-and $2,495 buys the whole 825-lb. bomb from the factory. The family sedan can even be raced as is: just painting a stripe down the hood or a number...
Real innovations were few among the catamarans, longitudinal step hulls and dihedral vee shapes that continued to compete with the conventional designs. A major trend is the increasing popularity of the inboard-outboard motor; in the 1961 show, 13 boats with inboard-outboard motors were exhibited, 38 were shown last year, and this year's show has 44. Inboard-outboards have the motor inside the hull (conferring more horsepower and greater prestige), while the propeller assembly is mounted outside the stern transom, permitting it to be raised in shallow water or for beaching and trailering to and from...
