Heedless of acres of bikini-clad flesh, Riviera tourists paid boatmen $10 a head to ride from Monte Carlo to nearby Cap-d'Ail. The lure: a possible chance of spying vacationing Sir Winston Churchill propped up on the shore in shorts, wide-brimmed straw hat, open-necked shirt and cigar...
...experimenters ran out of experiments; the four-letter words migrated to clothback books and the little magazines were left without shock value.

Tito regaled his guest with the story of how his desperate 19,000, surrounded by a ring of 120,000 German and other troops, buried their hard-won field guns, slaughtered and ate their packhorses, and then, losing nearly half their number in the charge, fought through the supposedly impassable Sutjeska River canyon, broke through...
