...once the star of kiddie cinema, thanks to Walt Disney confections like Pollyanna and The Parent Trap. Then in 1965, at the age of 19, Hayley Mills shed her moppet image by moving in with British Producer Roy Boulting, a thrice-married father of seven who was 33 years her senior. Five years later, the couple were married, and Mills bore a son. Now a ripe old 30, Hayley has come a long way indeed from her Disney days. Her latest credit: she has been named the "other woman" in a divorce suit filed by the wife of British Actor...
...House freely rotated 17 players in the game, including sophomore Lucy Wood. A number of Crimson players, particularly scoring ace Jeff Garrity and 200-pound defensemen Chris Dowd and Walt Herbert, were heavier and stronger than their foes, and Kirkland House hoped to be able to wear the Eli's down...

Inconsistencies. A photographer for Gamma Photo Agency is on the trail for two weeks; he speaks with the kind of cynicism bred in the anti-war movement and demonstrations against war-engineer Walt Rostow, where Rostow says something like, "I've never seen the effects of napalm but it can't be all that bad," and he (photographer, then student) turns down house lights and starts up a film showing bombs falling on North Vietnam, while Rostow (unaware of screen behind) continues to defend the war. That cynicism creeps back when the Gamma man talks about Reagan who, according...
