...acres of forest land and threatened ten villages. Zookeepers also had their hands full. Penguins in the Cologne zoo had to be put in air-conditioned boxes. A lion in a safari park near Frankfurt lumbered out of his lair and took a dip in the park's fountain, and a frazzled baby leopard at the West Berlin zoo sprang out of its crate and bit West German President Walter Scheel, tearing his jacket...
...easiest. Each Rotel accommodates 39 passengers, a driver-mechanic-cook and a tour guide. By day the group rides conventionally in the bus, with the usual hurried stops for sightseeing and picture taking. In the evening the juggernaut pulls into a camping ground or stops at a village fountain, and the action shifts to the 40-ft. trailer hitched to the rear. It becomes an outdoor kitchen, dining area, dressing room and dormitory. After supper the tourists repair to the sleeping quarters: a morguelike arrangement of 3-ft-wide bunks stacked three high and 13 across, each with a single...
...movies reveals something about Nichols and his former partner. A New Leaf was dark, crazy and exhilaratingly wacky. The Fortune, which also becomes a comedy of murders, is safe and smug.

Only when...
...They then proceeded to the mission's high-ceilinged granary for a dinner by candlelight. The high point of the day, though, occurred when the revelers assembled in the middle of a busy downtown intersection to give the former First Lady her $45,000 birthday present: an elaborate fountain carved from Mexican lava stone and placed near the Alamo on the spot where some of its defenders are said to have been burned in 1836. Mrs. Johnson pushed a button, the Ladybird Fountain gushed, and in a way, so did its namesake. Making the best of San Antonio...
