...scene I witnessed at Umuahia's Queen Elizabeth Hospital following the air raid was repeated in nearly every Biafran town I visited. Under tall shade trees outside an already filled mortuary lay a score of corpses, including pregnant women and months-old babies, charred, disfigured and mangled. Amid the tearful cries of keening women, workers carried into the morgue mashed human fragments piled on stretchers, and limbs and torsos balanced on shovels. The next morning, clutching handkerchiefs over nose and mouth against the stench and carrying freshly sawed unpainted wood coffins, the families lined up patiently under the trees...
Part of the hope lies in the acting, which individually is quite nice. Best of all is Elizabeth Brunton as Nancy, the Midlands girl whose search for a London YWCA brings her into the flat of Colin, Tolen, and Tom. Miss Brunton is charming in her extended bits of nonsense, particularly the first part of the "rape" sequence that dominates the third...
...time the hearing began, Linda found herself far too busy to attend classes, and had become something of a campus celebrity.

On a winter morning, he might emerge from his 13-room white saltbox house, scoop up an armful of snow and heave ten decimal points against the stop sign on the corner. On a summer morning, he can go out to his small garden and properly cultivate...
Still eschewing uniform, Mary Elizabeth last week marched into a summary court-martial at Arlington, Va., in a yellow turtleneck and beige culottes. She barely flinched when she was sentenced to 45 days' restriction to quarters, a $20 fine and reduction to private for disobeying orders. Nor did the prospect of this punishment induce Mary Elizabeth to resume soldierly ways or to put on her Marine uniform again. When her case is finally reviewed, the lady Leatherneck, who enlisted straight from school in Grand Junction, Colo., hopes to be reduced to the rank of civilian...
