...grand climax to the most massive naval campaign ever, a campaign that led through Coral Sea, where the drive toward Australia was thrown back; through Midway, where the threat to Hawaii was decisively broken; through the "Marianas Turkey Shoot" (the Battle of the Philippine Sea), which broke the back of Japanese naval airpower. The relentless surge had driven the Japanese back to a final line of defense that included the home islands themselves, and hinged on the Philippines...
...Craig Stevens, who was once an amateur boxer, like to throw their own fists in the closeups, but directors are leary of such heroics. So far in 51 scraps, Stevens has had only one accident-a torn fingernail. Darren (Mike Hammer) McGavin has also had only one accident: a broken rib. Still, the producers prefer the standard technique of organizing camera angles so that stunt men can take over. (The stunt men get paid well; they can afford an occasional puffed lip.) The heroes must survive, pressed, currycombed and unscrambled.' for next week's case...
Thus begins the latest paean to Irish whiskey by a pair of offbeat West Coast admen named Joseph Weiner, 43, and Howard Gossage, 42, who have floated to prominence clinging to champagne bottles, beer kegs, brandy snifters and, of course, fifths of Irish.

Worse yet, as part of his punishment, the state prosecutor was demanding confiscation of Rustler Roden's trusty Mercedes...
...opening ceremony in the huge Sports Stadium indicates the arrational tones of the rallies. An expectant hush was broken by the Czechoslovakian motorcycle brigade, complete with flags, as it raced about the outer track, followed by briefly clad athletes and the Parade of Nations. The accompaniment was an excited running description from the loudspeakers, the periodic release of colorful balloon clusters, bombs bursting and dropping "peace and friendship" signs in every language, and finally the freeing of thousands of white "peace doves." The Austrians sardonically reported that the Soviet skyrockets finished off the doves...
