Just about every major drug company in the U.S. is working on some sort of birth control product. Some of the drugs being tested may make the first oral contraceptives-which must be taken 20 times a month at a total cost of $3 -seem as ancient as camel froth. Indianapolis' Eli Lilly & Co. is experimenting with pills that have to be taken only once a month, and Ortho is working hard on a vaccine. Emko, a subsidiary of St. Louis' Sunnen Products, has won the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Federation for an aerosol foam preparation that...
...with the single title "Arabia!"--that is, it sets the scene, and sets the scene, and sets the scene. And not all the perfumes of Alec Guinness, who nattily impersonates the Arab Prince Feisal with obvious and engaging contempt for the whole business, can sweeten the arid piles of camel dung in which he is trapped.

But it is O'Toole who continually dominates the screen, and he dominates it with professional skill, Irish charm and smashing good looks. They are the looks of a healthy young lion: large strong animal mouth, blazing blue...
...Czar of all the Russias. After preparing at Eton, he had been to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Heidelberg, Oxford and Cambridge. Since, in fact, he was born in the New York area of indeterminate parentage, he always refused to speak Russian in public. But he was scrupulously elegant, with a camel's hair accent and a mill-racing brain. He lived on both coasts of North America and made occasional trips into what he called "the interior" in search of funds. During his numerous sojourns in jail, he carried a walking stick during exercise hours. Because he said...
