East Pakistan last week went wild over Fatima Jinnah. Nearly 250,000 people turned out to see her in Dacca, and a million lined the 293-mile route from there to Chittagong.

One dancer, sultry-eyed Anita Lopshok ("Fatima" to her fans), testified that two bartenders, under orders from her boss, tore off all her clothes and forced her onstage. Absurd as it is that such girls should belong to a labor union, they are all members of the American Guild of Variety Artists. But A.G.V.A. clearly has done little...
...undergraduate publication mentioned "the sense of intellectual triumph that comes from a thesis written between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. on the night before it is due"--helped along, no doubt, by a consoling Fatima Turkish Blend Cigarette, which purported to be of assistance in times of crisis like "writing to HER" or studying in exam period...
