Between the flat, metallic blasts of occasional mortar shells, the only sound in the camp was the rustle of rats shuffling over sleeping men. In the rifle pits behind the sandbagged perimeter of Plei Me, weary defenders sniffed the sour stench of cordite and unwashed clothes and grumbled about the duty. "Shut up," said a grizzled major. "This is what we're getting paid for." An enlisted man chuckled in the darkness. "Yeah, anybody who don't like the cooking can go right out the gate...
...banquet hall of the Meikles Hotel. Before him sat the leaders of Salisbury society, formally attired. They had raised glasses in a toast to their Queen, but nodded approvingly when he warned that they might soon be leaving her realm. Now they listened silently as Ian Smith, in the flat, nasal accent of the settler, read from the eve-of battle speech of Henry V: "That he which hath no stomach to this fight, let him depart. He today that sheds his blood with me, shall be my brother, and gentlemen in England, now abed, shall think themselves accurs...
Kooyonga has fairways that are broad and flat, well-watered greens that allow approach shots to bite and hold, and a par of 73 over a respectable 6,578 yds.

Nor does he suspect the identity of his sweepheart. Bobby is a rakehell who keeps a card file of his conquests with horse-racy annotations ("Slow starter but good in the stretch"). His flat...
Bobby checks out of town on a business trip, but returns unexpectedly and bumps into her again. Ashamed to admit that she lives in a depressed area (Washington Square, apparently), Sandra lets him escort her "home" to his flat, saying it's hers. The rest is a comedy of confusion involving His harried boss (Donald O'Connor), Her door-slamming roommate (Nita Talbot), some cozy dinners (duck a I'orange) and other misfortunes. Put them all together, they add up to Funny Feeling. Take a couple of aspirins first and it'll hardly be noticed...
