Before the Altar. Field Marshal Harding's nonchalance failed to conceal the fact that, two weeks after Archbishop Makarios' exile, his efforts had not yet brought about sufficient orderliness to make Cyprus the reliable military base the British desire. Last week four terrorists, their heads covered by black woolen hoods, walked into St. George's Greek Orthodox Church in the town of Kythrea during a service and shouted to the 40 worshiping villagers: "Stand up and face the wall!" Then, with a single pistol shot, one of the hooded men killed Lay Reader Manoli Pierides while...
...stenographer suffering from "droopy bosom" should never never try to conceal the fact by falling into the posture known as "secretarial slump." The droopy area must instead be frankly and firmly put to rights, not only by "corrective exercises" at home but "on-the-job grooming" during office hours. Neglected or ignored, it will all result in "dowager's hump" as a matter of course, and while this more serious condition is not incorrigible, it is certainly in a graver category than mere slump. Indeed, the whole of Glamour Expert Lilly Dache's book is a warning...
Although each position has its merits, the conflicting claims only conceal the fact that both parties feel that the Democrats fare better in a national election year.

Because 1958 is the date on the initial measure passed...
First day on the set, Bill was pale with fright-and exhaustion. What with violin and boxing lessons, he was working 17 hours a day. To calm his fears he called his mother as many as five times a day, and to conceal them he began to give veteran Mamoulian a little friendly guidance on how the show should be done. He almost got fired. Suddenly he had a two-day nervous collapse. Barbara Stanwyck, the star, came to his rescue. Every night, no matter how hard the day's work, she gave him a private rehearsal...
Even the hocus-pocus of Madison Avenue wags cannot conceal the charm of this seething French thriller. Forget the yellow shirt and the unsigned promise. In the vein of a sardonic O. Henry, Diabolique sometimes is ghoulish and gross, and is never very subtle. The ending, quite as startling as the man in the yellow shirt had you believe, induces a feeling of mental ineptitude. You wonder whether you weren't paying attention at the critical moment; perhaps it's because the director, Henri-Georges Clouzot, is simply a very clever...
