...ordered the Japanese film director. The cast took their places in the bedroom of a Tokyo inn. "Hajime [action]!" he shouted, and two underclad starlets tore into a frenzied catfight, clawing and crashing all over the minuscule room. The camera shots might have made Hugh Hefner blush, and the violence of the battle literally shook the foundations of the building-until an indignant old lady, the innkeeper, stalked in and demanded: "What goes on here? This is a respectable inn. I want an explanation, and it better be good...

...seemed to satisfy Yvette. Her career was one long catfight with the critics, one tirade after another against the promoters and public. A special target was the "crude, greedy" U.S. audience, though she said herself she would never have come to the States except for the money, and the money was considerable: $16,000 a month...

...once, the Detroit River came alive. Flippant rooster tails of spray arced high as six hopped-up speedboats zippered the straightaway and skittered hell-bent for trouble toward the first turn of the Gold Cup race for unlimited hydroplanes. The last heat boiled into a catfight between two river belles-Miss Thrijtway, a neat cream, orange and white number from Seattle, and Miss Pepsi, a Detroit brawler all tricked out in red, white and blue...

Brilliant Catfight. The particular symposium in The Republic that is devoted to foreign affairs turns out to be a brilliant and bitter catfight. As a tiger among lesser cats, Beard claws all his enemies in this particular chapter to death. Beard's opponents have fictitious names, but it is easy to identify them with the beliefs of Dr. James Shotwell, Clarence Streit, Ely Culbertson, Wendell Willkie, Herbert Agar, Pearl Buck and others. The weakness of this foreign-policy symposium derives from its satirical intent, which is not in keeping with The Republic as a whole. Walter Lippmann, for example...
