 At left, Nicholas Aloysius Adamshock changes his name to Nick Adams … Makeup man Percival "Perc" Westmore attempts suicide …  Kim Novak bids a private farewell to the Dominican Republic’s Gen. Rafael Trujillo Jr. during a goodbye bash in his chartered railroad car … An excavation crew at Olympic Boulevard and Alvira find mammoth tusks 25 feet underground … Yma Sumac’s divorce is final … And teenage fans supposedly swipe Sal Mineo’s pants. Note the picture: A publicity shot from "Tonka." We sure used to shill for the studios in the old days.

Below left: Olympic and Alvira, where mammoths once walked the Earth.
