...conundrum about the nature of truth. While waiting out a thunderstorm at a desolate western whistlestop, three men fall to reminiscing about all the sex and sinnin' that came out at a badman's trial for murder. Seems a Southern dandy (Laurence Harvey) and his wife (Claire Bloom) had been lured into a woodsy glen by a notorious Mexican bandit (Newman), who bound the husband to a tree and then raped the wife.

Shocked into action, the London Stock Exchange last week asked its member companies for more frequent and more thorough financial statements...
...year (France buys more than half) constitutes 70% of the country's exports. The plantations often pay "taxes" to the Viet Cong guerrillas lest they damage property and kidnap foremen. Today, the 5,000 Metropolitan Frenchmen in South Viet Nam walk softly. "We feel that we should bloom quietly, like violets," says one.
