What with all those gourmet meals he has to tuck away in line of duty, 007 alias Sean Connery, 34, is finding avoirdupois harder to liquidate than his old pals from SMERSH. Relaxing with his real-life wife and child in Nassau, the 6-ft. 1-in. actor weighed in at 198 Ibs. Tsk! The Communists plainly don't think that Bondism is flabby. In East Germany, two party newspapers ran bombastic reviews of his "capitalistic, reactionary" adventures, concluded that the dashing Briton's addiction to "opening safes and bras" epitomizes Western decadence. They sound jealous.
Since Crispus Attucks fought for the 13 U.S. colonies in the Boston Massacre of 1770, many thousands of his fellow Negroes have distinguished themselves in battle. Yet it was not until 1940 that a U.S. Negro attained the rank of general. Fourteen years after General Benjamin Oliver Davis won that distinction, his son, a rangy West Pointer and bemedaled World War II fighter squadron leader, came back from the Korean War to become the first of his race to win the two stars of a major general. Now, after distinguished service as an Air Force Deputy chief of staff in the Pentagon, Benjamin Oliver Davis Jr., 52, is heading back to South Korea, where President Johnson has picked him to be U.S. chief of staff (under General Hamilton Howze), and nominated him for promotion to lieutenant general, second-highest active rank in the Air Force.
In the Broadway musical Bajour, Chita Rivera, 35, plays a crafty gypsy con-girl dedicated to the gentle art of separating suckers from their cash. And who should be picked to lure loot-laden tourists to the New York World's Fair when it opens next week? Of course. Naming the hot-eyed Latin actress New York City's official summer hostess, Mayor Robert Wagner, 55, cooed: "Chita Rivera symbolizes in a wonderful way the warm welcome we want to extend to each of our guests." Fair warning.
