...homosexual VD carrier. (This type of case is difficult because of the promiscuity involved; whereas adult heterosexuals average four recent contacts and teen-agers six, homosexuals average up to twelve.) Posing as a poll taker, she talked her way into his Back Bay apartment. When she gave him the bad news, he gagged, ran to the bathroom and vomited. When he emerged, he fainted dead away. "Luckily," says the nurse, "he fainted right next to his well-stocked bar, so I just reached over and poured a bit of brandy into him." Restored, he named his contacts. Another homosexual...
...hero is a pipe-smoking industrialist by day, the head of the Danish underground by night, and a skin-deep thinker on the side ("The whole world is a bloody sickness"). Bad Nazis perform the usual tortures, while protesting "We are a civilized people." Good Germans lament, "What a day we live in!"

The TV crews lugged their equipment to the city hospital where they got assurances from the staff that it was not a child but a 22-year-old man who had been shot-and he was only wounded...
...fulfill his duties. "My greatest achievement," he recalls, "was to produce the goods for Britain 113 times in one week." But when the dreams end, Reaney is strictly a power failure. He attributes one blowout to the fact that the widow in the upstairs flat had bad breath. He talks a young singer out of bed by asking the equivalent of what's a nice thing like you doing in show biz. He finally finds happiness in a most old-fashioned way: with his best friend's wife...
