Against the surreal landscapes of Mozambique, Bechuanaland and Transvaal, Director Wilde unfolds this simple tale with elemental force, and acts it accordingly. His natives are not the usual faceless blacks but human beings whose capacity for violence the hero quickly matches. In the script, sparely written by Clint Johnston and Don Peters, a few scraps of English dialogue and African dialect count for less than the surprise of a snapping twig or the insistent throb of drums, injected into the bloodstream of the film like so many shots of adrenaline. Without insulting modern Africa, Naked Prey writes the wild poetry...
...bonds pay interest of 4%, which is as good as an 8% stock dividend return to an investor in a high-tax bracket. The current struggle in Wall Street's market is not between bulls and bears, but between stocks and bonds. Calling some important turns are the faceless but formidable institutions-mutual funds, pension and profit-sharing funds, insurance companies and banks -which account for about 31% of all trading on the major exchanges.

The result, say experts, is the breeding of a dangerous disbelief in equal justice...

Anesthesiologists see the patients in advance, and we play a role with the surgeon in preparing them for what is to come." The A.S.A.'s incoming president, Dr. John J. Bonica, drew attention to another vital role of the anesthesiologist-where surgery is not involved or at least not scheduled. "Suppose," he said, "a patient comes in with barbiturate poisoning. All his automatic nervous system reactions...
