Bent on becoming a ranking European ski star, Karim Ago Khan, 24, scored a diplomatic sitzmark while working out with the Austrian national squad near Salzburg. Racing down a slalom run, the generally sobersided Karim veered off the marked course and bowled over an Austrian photographer who had chosen to ignore the Aga's refusal to permit pictures. When the collision was untangled, the victim took his mangled Minolta and gashed ski boot to the local police station, charging reckless skiing. But before a damage suit could be prosecuted, the spiritual leader of 20 million Ismali Moslems lammed out of town.
With nary a negative peep from the Soviet bloc, the United Nations honored the wishes of the Ford Foundation (which donated the building) by dedicating its new $6,200,000 glass-and-marble library to the late Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold.

For Oregon's indefatigable Maurine Neuberger, 53, the wheel came a somber circle. Her husband and predecessor as Oregon's junior Democratic Senator, Richard Neuberger, in 1959 reported himself cured of cancer only to die the following year of a stroke. Last week Maurine, who had not been herself since a recent swing through Africa, was operated on in Portland for removal of an intestinal growth. Though preliminary biopsy revealed "low-grade malignant changes," her condition at week's end was reportedly "good."
Still smarting from a series of ill-starred political ventures topped off by his self-announced candidacy for the 1960 Republican vice-presidential nomination, Banker-Lawyer Philip Willkie, 41, son of the late Wendell Willkie, had no patience left for family troubles. With his wife's divorce litigation dragging into its sixth month, Willkie countered with a $1,000,000 suit against his in-laws for alienation of Mrs. Willkie's affections. Willkie's father-in-law: Millionaire Minneapolis Grain Man Peavy Heffelfinger, 64, nephew of famed 1890s Yale Guard "Pudge" Heffelfinger and onetime finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.
At a Boston conclave of far-out right-wingers, rampaging Columnist-Commentator Fulton Lewis Jr., 58, won wild applause by repudiating the moderation of the John Birch Society in merely urging the impeachment of Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. Foamed Lewis: "I would lynch Earl Warren."
