...flamenco; Lilo Pulver as a brusque, weepy vodkaholic making a case for the U.S.S.R.; Miiko Taka as an ah-so Geisha who offers back rubs and hot saki; and Elga Andersen as a French fille de joie who waives her diplomatic immunity in pajama tops. True love is the Belgian lass (Michele Mercier), a high-minded guide from the Low Countries. Obviously, the movie makes a negligible contribution to world amity and understanding, despite such gimmicks as a walk-on role by U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson. Stooped, sage and sober, the ambassador looks like a man who knows...
...CORE'S Brooklyn chapter to jam up all the approaches with stalled cars and subways. And it was very close to the readiness Fair Boss Robert Moses had prophesied all along. Externally, only a handful of buildings were not complete, ranging from the exposed rafters of the Belgian Village to a few forlorn steel girders sticking out of the ground at the site of the Hall of Science...
Then, of course, there was the favorite: Aurele Vandendriessche, 31, a skinny, hook-nosed Belgian who once held the world record for 30,000 meters, and likes to train before dawn - running 30 miles or so through pine forests when "it's dark, and peaceful, and beautiful."

He found Mount Kituro blasting furiously, but descended alone into the crater with only a handkerchief tied over his face. The volcano stepped up its action, attacking him with poisonous fumes and great gobs of molten lava. He barely managed to struggle out of the crater alive. "I found...
Last month, along with five other Belgian and French volcanologists, Dr. Tazieff made an intimate study of Irazú, which staged several fine explosions for their benefit. There was nothing they could do to cure the eruption, of course, but on their recommendation Minister of the Volcano Jorge Manuel Dengo built an armored observatory on the edge of the crater and equipped it with instruments to report earth tremors that might precede an unusually violent outburst...
