...Empire. Chopped into five or six half-hour parts, this movie could serve for that all but vanished art form, the Saturday afternoon serial. It might not top Tarzan of the Apes, but as a Child's Garden of Gibbon it obstreperously fills the bill. There are poisonings, chariot races, hairbreadth escapes, and slaughtered barbarians enough to satisfy the most bloodthirsty ten-year...

And outside the Waldorf, six demonstrators paraded in Halloween skeleton costumes, hauling a chariot bearing skeletons and a whip-cracking man dressed as Tito. Angered, Tito canceled a reception for 1,200 guests. "The reason for this," said Tito's communique, "is the failure of the competent authorities ... to undertake adequate security measures in connection with the reception." Replied New York's Police...
