...Hardwicke, Peter Lorre, Red Buttons, Herbert Marshall, Billy Gilbert, Chester the Chimp-the ape apes them all and in the process manages slyly to suggest that they are all making monkeys of themselves. Gravely he lists the cinema cliches associated with African adventure: senile rented lions, brffsking British bwanas, bulbous Viennese sheiks, disdressed American beauties, big dumb tribesmen who look suspiciously like studio Indians retouched for the occasion. Most of all he relishes the silly things people say so earnestly in this sort of movie, and assembles a connoisseur's catalogue of clinkers...

"You like to laugh, but you also like to be hit. It's the schizophrenia...
...Navy Yard dock. Osborn, 42, stepped aboard the nuclear Polaris submarine George Washington, in whose vast holds huge quantities of provisions-from missile-shaped cigars to cigar-shaped missiles-had been stored. Then Skipper Osborn bellowed a time-honored order: "Cast off all lines!" Soon the sub pointed her bulbous nose down the Cooper River and headed for sea to inaugurate a new era in the arcane cold-war art of keeping the peace...
