...cast (notably Anne Baxter and Jane Fonda) positively seethe with vitality. The script, which owes almost nothing but its title and its setting to the novel by Nelson (The Man with the Golden Arm) Algren, was written by five writers in succession, and it reads like a round-robin, fold-over-and-add-a-line letter: "You certainly are an unusual girl to find in this sort of place . . .

Rockefeller will also be the biggest shareholder in the merged company...

For months the United Nations had kept its uneasy peace in Katanga, always hopeful that somehow the territory could be brought back into the Congo fold.
