...which contains the capital city of Peking. From its rugged border with Manchuria, the province runs down in a shelving plain to the shallow Gulf of Chihli. Very few eminent Communists come from Hopeh or its neighboring province of Shansi, which is noted for sacred mountains and such spectacular cave temples as Yun Kang, where a mile-long cliff face has been chiseled into thousands of Buddhist images. Shensi is reverenced as the birthplace of the Chinese nation, and when the country was first unified by the Ch'in dynasty in 221 B.C., its capital was near present...
...piano rolls were hidden in a Black Forest cave during World War II, and in 1948, an American enthusiast named Richard Simonton bought the rolls from the poor and aging Welte. But the first attempts to record them two years later were marred by everything from the sound of overhead airplanes to freezing temperatures that kept the piano out of tune.

With every turn of that drill the danger increased that the rescue efforts would cave in what remained of the roof of that underground, pick-hewn grotto in which Fellin, Throne and, surely not too many feet away, Lou Bova, had been trapped...
...about a celebrated TV comedian who has serious aspirations (no date set). Chester Morris and Signe Hasso are in something called The Tender Heel-about a modern Achilles, of course, set in a Florida fishing village (Oct. 21). Man on Ice confronts an anthropologist with a Neanderthal in a cave. Director John Gerstad (The Seven Year Itch) has yet to pick an actor for either role, but the latter should be a snap (February). One half-cast comedy is The Owl and the Pussycat, by Wilton Manhoff. The pussycat goes in for acting, modeling and prostitution. A snoopy neighbor reports...
