It’s a scene of perfect tranquility, but something is amiss. Maybe it’s the heavy techno beats being pumped out from a DJ booth tucked between the trees. This is Dekmantel festival, an EDM extravaganza that has evolved over the past decade from a series of intimate underground club gatherings. Each year, ravers in their thousands flock to the Dutch capital, packing themselves around stages built out of towering scaffolding or kaleidoscopic swirls of fabric. Over 200 artists feature...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
