...Clark and Robert Middleton were smooth and competent as the killers, and so was Ray Walston as the frightened owner of the lunchroom in which the killers reveal their plot. Beyond the brief Hemingway dialogue, the show was distinguished only by the Swedish fighter. In a flashback to a Chicago gym, where he was coached in the art of taking a dive, and in the scene from the original, in which he decided that he is "through with all that running" from death, the part of Ole Andreson was naturally and credibly managed by Amateur Actor Ingemar Johansson, world...
...Street. Last week, daily papers across the nation front-paged yet another art discovery, in Hollywood. Appropriately supercolossal, the story raised a mushroom cloud of dust and then rapidly evaporated. The announcement was made in the office of Hollywood's wide-screen Lawyer Jerry Giesler.

...Porcella had indeed worked for the Vatican-for a short period more than 24 years ago on a guidebook. The Italian government, which keeps tab on its art experts, said that Citizen Porcella was not listed as a first-rate expert, or even as a second-rate one.

Last week "Corbu," who has long been rankled by the fact that U.S. clients have fought shy of his turbulent genius, landed his first U.S. commission...
...young Associated Press reporter in Chicago, the whole business had an odd smell-or rather, lack of smell. It was during the blazing summer of 1933, and Ray Brennan, then 25 and covering one of his first big stories, was facing Swindler Jake ("The Barber") Factor, who claimed before reporters and the police that he had been kidnaped, held for twelve days in a basement and just released. Factor said he was still wearing the same clothes in which he had been kidnaped-but his shirt and suit were clean and only slightly wrinkled. And there was another strange thing...
