...Beach. Greece, limited by treaty to a 950-man contingent in Cyprus, has carried shipload after shipload of fresh troops and guns into the southern port of Limassol. Numbering more than 3,000 so far, they were quickly transported to camps of the Greek Cypriot national guard in the Troodos Mountains and elsewhere. Part of a Nicosia mental hospital is being used as a storage depot for newly arrived Greek arms and ammunition; four batteries of field artillery, quantities of light antiaircraft guns, antitank weapons and armored cars have recently turned up at a Greek encampment at Lefkoniko, near Famagusta...
Turkey, which is entitled to keep a regiment of 650 soldiers in Cyprus, has also pumped in fresh forces from the mainland. But the Turkish Cypriots, lacking the control of the main ports that Makarios' men enjoy, have had to adopt unorthodox import techniques that make it impossible to bring in as many reinforcements as the Greeks. One battalion of perhaps 200 paratroopers was recently dropped clandestinely along the 15-mile-long road from Nicosia to coastal Kyrenia, where the legal Turkish regiment keeps watch over the only outlet from the capital the Turkish Cypriots control.

As the plane swung sharply to a halt, out stepped the new U.S. ambassador, General Maxwell D. Taylor, fresh in shining sharkskin and a bright resolve. The Viet Cong had sworn to kill him, and indeed a terrorist carrying a homemade grenade in a loaf of bread had been captured just yards from the U.S. embassy the day before. But Max Taylor figured to stick around a while -at least until after the U.S. election...
...Shot in the Dark. Four shots, in fact. A police car roars up to the porte-cochere of a chateau and out steps-sacrebleu!-it is the terror of Montmartre, the Napoleon of criminology! It is Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) of the Sureté. Fresh from his daring exploits in The Pink Panther, the inspector is a model of sangfroid. Beneath the vigorous mustache, the lips are ironical; beneath the snap-brim felt, the darting eyes see everything-well, everything except the goldfish pond. Splat...
