...Klux Klan is just as dated, but Wallace produced its Imperial Wizard Eldon L. Edwards in a flurry of bedsheets and a flourish of portentous announcements. Edwards, a tongue-tied Atlanta paint sprayer, was a sitting duck for Wallace's speechifying, loaded questions. He managed to emit a few typical noises; e.g., the Bible teaches segregation (though he could not quote a supporting text). But the K.K.K., long discredited in the South itself, is not a real issue.

The portable Infra-Rayhead Heater burns gas through tiny holes in ceramic plates, quickly developing surface temperatures of 1,400° to 1,600° F., which in turn emit infra-red rays that warm nearby objects without heating the intervening air. Its operation is inexpensive; a 100-lb. tank of liquefied petroleum gas provides 150 hours of heating. Possible uses: protecting crops from frost, heating large factories. Price: $90 for small size...

...coal country, Palance (né Palahnuik) gave terrifying performances in Shane and Sudden Fear, has since become the hottest heavy in Hollywood. His face alone, as thin and cruel as a rust-pitted spade, is enough to-frighten a strong man; and to make matters worse, he seems to emit hostile energy, like something left overnight in a plutonium pile...
