...watched. But to my surprise, and dismay, what ensued could hardly be deemed a "horror classic:" a cast of unknowns, a script right out of a booby prize collection (neither of which had ever disturbed me before), and a story of a dedicated missionary-type healer-researcher in his quest for the cure of red fever. The crimes: forgery and assuming a false identity. Having expected this "classic" at least to provide me with some of the horrification stimuli of Frankenstein or Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde, you can probably understand my disappointment.

...apply pressure, Panama drafted a resolution calling on the U.S. to draft "without delay" a new treaty that would guarantee Panama "sovereignty over all its territory." To Scali's dismay, this move won the support of 13 of the 15 delegates (Briiain abstained).

Most remarkably, it has all happened in less than four months, since the election of the first Labor Party government in 23 years, and the installation of hard-driving Gough Whitlam, 56, as Prime Minister...
...curiouser and curiouser. With her camera resting on her lap in the best tourist manner, Queen Elizabeth was cheerfully taking tea and watching a parade of elephants while on her tour of Thailand last year. Suddenly, in a series of baffling photographs just published in London, Elizabeth registered first dismay, then pain, then a rictus of what looked like sheer agony. Was it that tea? A tack on the chair? Back trouble? Horst Ossinger, the German photographer who caught the moment with a telephoto lens, and won the Holland World Press Photo Contest prize for it, doesn't know...
