Placards & Rifle Butts. Politics in the Philippines shows exaggerated hostility too, and Romantic Poet Macapagal finds it difficult to match the flip philippics of his opponents. Already he is swapping invective with the Nacionalistas, although election day is not due until November 1965, and the opposition has yet to select a candidate. Two of the chief contenders for the nomination are former Liberal Party members-Vice President Emmanuel Pelaez and Senate President Ferdinand Marcos-both of whom broke from Diosdado Macapagal after his triumphant election. They are well aware that, until now, not one Philippine President has managed to serve...
...Kuenn. "It was right at the Yankee Stadium score-board," says Turley, now a pitching coach with the Boston Red Sox. "Hank couldn't quite catch up to the ball. But somehow, God only knows how, he got close enough to tip it with his bare hand -and flip it right into Mickey Mantle's glove.

Based on a sober historical novel by Jack Schaefer (Shane), the movie attempts to spark laughs by logging the misadventures of Company Q, a detachment of Yankee misfits led by inept Colonel Melvyn Douglas and his wry-smiling lieutenant, Glenn Ford. The boobs under their command include a firebug, a flagpole sitter, a kleptomaniac, a skittish...
...Today. How ingenious such theorizing. But death has no dominion in rock 'n' roll. Songs that hint of a teenage demise do so with a bright insouciance, as if the singer imagines death to be only the flip side of life. In surfin' music-which is just rock 'n' roll dressed for the beach-sudden death is treated as a nuisance hardly worse than rain...
