Cynical Wisdom. Montana's gift, which he describes as coming "from the belly," consists of a throatily masculine baritone voice, an expressively mobile face and body and an air of casual virility that can curl the toes of every properly nourished female in the house. He works with few props-a top hat and a straw hat, a cane and an umbrella-but his simplest movements are vibrant with innuendo. Singing entirely in French, he baited his audiences last week into a wonderful medley of moods. In Ma Môme, Ma P'tite...
...does not mind being black, and the South African native, who does, shows up in Drum's two editions; e.g., a pomade ad in the South African edition promises to de-kink hair, but for West African readers the same product touts its ability to preserve natural curl...
Above its still mysterious floor, the ocean is not homogeneous but is a vast, intricate structure of separate and distinct layers, each with its own character and individuality. In some places the layers curl up and mix; in other places they do not. Through the layers mighty rivers stream on largely unknown courses, often flowing in opposite directions close to one another.

That is $5.2 billion more than the amount that, in 1957, moved then-Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey to warn of "a depression that will curl your hair." And it is $3.1 billion more than the President's original budget for the current fiscal year, in which the U.S. is running a gaudy $12.9 billion into the red. In its modest surplus, the 1960 budget picks up the pre-Sputnik, pre-recession trend of Eisenhower budgets...
