...Dieu, you ugly man! Tell me why you are such a fool!"). In this film, she is introduced as the svelte blonde secretary of an oil magnate who maintains his executive offices in a private jetliner. "Your cigar, sir," murmurs Irma (Elke Sommer), as she extracts a plump Corona from her ruffled cigarter. The boss lights up, draws deep, looks faintly startled as the cigar explodes a .38 slug that rips through the back of his throat and severs his spine...
...cars built for Japan's potholedroads were flops. Now, says Kawamata, we do not "take second place to any make." Japan last year sold 266,000 cars and trucks from Kenya to South Korea. Best customer: the U.S., especially the West Coast, where Toyota's $2,000 Corona and Nissan's $2,300 Datsun are among the new rages on the road...

Johnson worked endlessly on the crisp, newly typed pages with his favorite soft-lead pencils...
...lengthening shadows cast by Surveyor itself appeared with startling clarity in shots of nearby terrain. In one picture, the 10-ft.-high spaceship's shadow stretched 50 ft. away. At sunset, the camera, aimed directly at the solar fireball, captured the brilliant halo of the sun's corona-usually invisible on earth because of the terrestrial atmosphere. After nightfall, Surveyor successfully took the last of the 10,338 photographs it has shot since June 2, when it settled on the moon. The four-minute time exposure showed one of its footpads illuminated only by eerie earthlight-the sunlight...
