...Seven Joys, Columbia's new Matt Helm thriller. Yet one supporting role is sure to set the audience buzzing. That's when an aide informs the President that thieves have made off with $1 billion in gold bullion. And there's old L.B.J. listening to the bad news. Old who? Well, it's not quite the boss himself, folks. It's his cousin. To play the President, Central Casting tapped J. B. Peck, 66, retired sheriff of Garland, Texas, and L.B.J.'s somewhat look-alike first cousin. It's just a flash...
...live and work in them, but do you ever really think about them? New ones are piling up all around you. Did it ever occur to you that they might be killing the city by overcrowding? Do you try to judge buildings, wondering why some are good and others bad? Does one structure delight you and another depress you as just one more faceless façade, adding up to more monotony, more soul-destroying boredom?

Brokers claimed that the sell-off was a delayed reaction to bad news concerning the Paris peace talks and the Czechoslovak-Russian confrontation, combined with an anticipated economic slowdown as a result of the 10% tax surcharge. Frederick Stahl, chairman of Standard & Poor's, suggested that the midweek closings themselves were partly responsible because they eroded investors' confidence in the mechanics...
Desperado Dean Martin and four of his scruffy gunmates are set to swing for murder. The visiting hangman (James Stewart) rides into town looking like Ichabod Crane with a bad case of saddle sores, and cacklingly tells the condemned that they have the kind of "necks that'll snap pretty good." The joke, see, is that Stewart is really Martin's square-shootin' brother, and the hangman bit is a ruse to spring Dino and the boys. The trick clicks, and the gang gallops off into the bandolero (bandit) country of Mexico. On the way they pick...
