...wonderful winter-for penguins. Texas shivered in the blast of a rare "blue norther," Florida's pole bean and tourist crops were imperiled by frost, the temperature plunged to 22º below in Laramie, Wyo., and the entire northeast was smothered under snow that seemed to fall endlessly, making the average commuter feel his kinship to Nanook of the North...
...gone. But just before he can put his plan into effect, the friendly old turnkey is replaced by Sergeant Sidney ("Sour") Crout, who is notoriously "the most wickid screw what ever crep' down a prison corridor." Best scene occurs in a prison quarry, where an "accidental" blast blows Sergeant Crout to comical tatters and leaves him staring at the audience with an expression like the can't-win cat in a Tom and Jerry cartoon.

...from Japan and from nearby African states. Western friends and allies of France maintained a tight-lipped and rather testy silence, but the Soviet Union threatened to resume nuclear testing if "Western powers proceed" with atomic explosions. Red China added its own denunciation, saying that "world opinion condemned" the blast, and will probably protest the French series right up until the day China is ready to explode its own bomb, when Peking can say unctuously that the act was forced upon it by the "aggressive behavior" of others...
