...pieced together a description of the man by drawing on information from eyewitnesses to the shootings. He is between 20 and 30, from 5 ft. 9 in. to 6 ft., of medium build and lean face, with a thin mustache and possibly a goatee; he may wear a knitted cap. Some witnesses claim that there are two, possibly three assailants...
...people in the nearby Riviera town of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the cavern is known as Le Trou du Tachou (the Badger's Hole). Hidden away on a Mediterranean hillside covered with olive trees and scrub oak, it was discovered in 1962 by a little girl looking for shiny stones for her collection.

But Mom in this case is played by gum-snapping Goldie Hawn, and there is nothing classy about the way she expresses her grief or the methods she is willing to employ to pry Baby Langston out of the foster home in which he has been placed...

When Svejk is drafted despite his rheumatic legs, he borrows a wheelchair, crutches and an old army cap, gets himself wheeled through the streets of Prague on his way to the induction station, crying "On to Belgrade!", and is apotheosized by the official press as the most gallant of volunteers for the great glory of the Austro-Hungarian cause. Thereafter he contrives to misplace both his papers...
