...bottle of his favorite booze besides. Price demands her release. Karloff refuses. With Lorre grinning fiendishly in the wings, the two wizards cross wands in a demonological duel to the death. Sneering hideously, Karloff points his forefinger at Price: from the end of it, as from the barrel of a metaphysical peashooter, blue pellets of supernatural energy blip! blip! blip! Frowning sternly, Price points his forefinger at Karloff: from the end of it, green pellets of supernatural energy blip! blip! blip...
...they moved into his three-room Yorkville apartment. He did not mind the overcrowding, but he has not forgotten the resettling. "Our people had to sell everything for 10? to 15? on the dollar.

When other Senators wanted approval of pet home-state spending projects, they had to come to Kerr-and he always remembered his debtors. He was as ruthless in public debate as in private trading. He once made a Senate speech claiming that Republican Dwight Eisenhower could not comprehend the nation's fiscal policies, "because one cannot do that without brains, and he does not have them." There upon Indiana's loyal but hapless Republican Senator...

An old man watches it with haunted eyes. Headlines threaten atomic destruction. Water leaks from a barrel, runs into a sewer and is seen no more. In a park a fountain suddenly fails. The day fails. In the darkness a single street lamp burns, far away and cold. Then suddenly the lamp burns in the center of the screen, immense and pulsing, urgent, the light of life...
