...first on NBC), Omnibus proved Madison Avenue more wrong than ever. With two-thirds of the show sold (to Aluminium Ltd. and Union Carbide), and the other third bid for, Omnibus kicked off with a slickly attractive white-shoe production of Stover at Yale, a tongue-in-dimpled-cheek musical adaptation by Douglass (Damn Yankees) Wallop of the old Owen Johnson stories.

Freud himself was not told that examination of the removed tissues revealed cancer, although more surgery was soon necessary for "an unmistakably malignant ulcer in the hard palate which invaded ... the upper part of the lower jaw and even the cheek." First, a carotid artery was tied off, and glands beneath the upper jawbone (some of them already suspiciously enlarged) were removed.

...caught a bullet full in the face. The gunman, thought to be a professional Cuban gun slinger, grabbed Martnez' briefcase, then scuttled from the building undetected. Only in one detail did the shooting vary from the pattern: the bullet ripped through Martnez' cheek and neck, missing a vital spot, and the Trujillo critic will probably live...
