...THAT WALKED BY HERSELF read by Boris Karloff (Caedmon). One painless way to break the comic-book habit and get the kids back to Kipling is to let this gentle old Frankenstein do it for you. All about the cave dwellers, and how the lady of the house domesticates a dog, a horse, a cow-and finally a cat, which proves a match for her wits...
...Holy suffocation! A year between Barbra's shows filled with hours of operating rooms, court rooms, bar rooms, Batmobiles. Deliver me from the whop, smack and zap in the bat cave and let me suffocate in such appalling overcuteness as Barbra. If that hour of greatness was a myth, spare me the realities of "My Mother the Car," my wife the witch, my father the fugitive, and your reviews...

TIME may also have put Dead Sea Scrolls Dealer Kando at odds with his fellow Arabs by stating that he reported the Jericho cave finds to persons in Israel.

The marriage contracts prove that the Samaritans frequently married Greeks and were Hellenized even before Alexander conquered them. A number of the nobles wore rings and seals with "lovely naked figures of Greek goddesses" as well as traditional symbols of Jewish religion...
