That was when I first learned what the United Nations and who Dag Hammarskjold were. It was almost seven years later that I watched a tearful Pauline Frederick son tell the world that Hammarskjold was dead. His airplane had crashed--or had been shot down--just as it was about to land at Ndola, a small town on the border between the Congolese province of Katanga and Rhodesia. Hammarskjold had flown there to talk with Moise Tshombe, intending to negotiate not only a ceasefire but the terms under which Katanga would eventually be re-unified with the rest...
Special Feeling. Selected over 23 other competitors, Shrady is no stranger to religious sculpture.

...plays a Yaqui Indian temptress romanced by a U.S. lawman (Jim Brown). Her accent, like her blouse, keeps slipping; her emotional range is strictly Mount Rushmore. Yet she provides the torpid western with its most convincing scene. Under a water tower, showering in a shirt, she stops a train dead in its tracks. 100 Rifles makes it official: Raquel wet and draped is sexier than most actresses nude and dry. Along the way, audiences can review Raquel's entire body of work-a group of three poses...
