Early reports indicated that this year's totals would top last year's census of 52 million birds and 506 species. As always, however, there would be some disappointments. Los Angelenos, for example, failed for the third straight year to find a Bald Eagle. And in Hawaii, neither Devotee Grenville Hatch nor any of her fellow birders spied a Nukupuu or a Puaiohi, or an O'u. or even the shy, honey-eating...
...bald, unprepossessing man who looked like a half brother to both Adlai Stevenson and Alfred Hitchcock, Giesler delivered his exhortations to juries in a crescendoing whine, sometimes trailing off into the deep purple. He defended Walter Wanger after the jealous producer fired a -38-cal. slug into the groin of a fellow whom he considered too attentive to his wife, Joan Bennett. Giesler decided this was temporary insanity. "For a brief mo ment," he told the jury, "through the violet haze of early evening, Wanger saw things in a bluish flash." The jury some how saw it that...
...with thick, white, curly hair and a round, white beard; he wears "a joyous and simple expression." St. John the Evangelist, although sometimes shown as a beardless youth with dark hair, is usually pictured as he was at the end of his life: tufts of white hair bordering a bald head, a long white beard, a beatific smile. His brother James is traditionally shown as a young man; he has thick brown hair, receding slightly at two points, and a short, fringelike beard, much like Christ's. St. Paul has a large bald head, a dark, scraggly, pointed beard...

...greasy renegades-yellow-bellied skunks running guns to the Comanches. (Actually, Big John does the job by himself. Stu is like the human figure beside the geography-book whale; he just sort of stands there to show how big Big John really is.) But in this western the bald theme matters less than the hairy variations. Item: the big bold badman (Lee Marvin), when he wants a shot of redeye, does not tear the cork out with his stubby green teeth-a routine every Hollywood heavy learns in his first villain lesson. Nosirree, he whacks the bottom of the bottle...
