...Room. Enraged, the Socialists started after Shiikuma, who, hiding his face in his sleeve, had been smuggled into the chamber before the session began and had been waiting, crouched between two desks, for his cue. When Shiikuma managed to escape behind a phalanx of progovernment members, the Socialists turned on a regular Diet guard, accused him of allowing the getaway, and began strangling him. "Violent revolution," cried the secretary-general of the Socialists, "is the only road to power!" As members and their male secretaries began flailing away at one another, 300 left-wing students forced their way into...

Sept. 22). Scarcely had these demonstrations reached the proper pitch of hysteria when Peking did an about-face, proclaimed first a cease-fire and then its present senseless policy of shelling Quemoy only on alternate days, as if to show that if Red China could not take the islands, it could kill innocent people on them at will.

After a brief dry spell trying to direct pictures (The Girl in the Kremlin, Flying Devils), and a few months of promoting such inanimate products as automatic laundries, "the Bird" is back at his appointed task: fabricating...
...Liked Her." Nothing goes on along the 14,000 miles of American's routes or among its 21,000 employees that does not interest Smith. He often rides the line alone on weekends, keeping tab on everything. His seamed, jowly face has become a familiar sight to stewardesses, pilots and mechanics, as he samples the food, checks the service, asks questions-all the while jotting notes on pieces of scrap paper. A rough and tough man's man, he often peppers his speech with four-letter words, can shoot out orders like a gunslinger on the loose. Recently...
