...Greek Cypriots and temporal leader of the enosis movement. Makarios ordered a "systematic campaign of passive resistance aimed at achieving national freedom." Besides the grave, soft-spoken archbishop and his church are two other groups more openly committed to violence in support of enosis - an underground terrorist gang called E.O.K.A. and the Cyprus Communist Party, whose 18,000-member Pancypriot Labor Federation has a hammer lock on the island's labor force, and whose membership includes the mayors of the second, third and fourth largest towns on the island. Communists obviously espouse the cause for troublemaking reasons alone...
...defense, Army's big line was gang-tackling with wicked exuberance; Penn State Star Lenny Moore could hardly get started. By the end of the first half, Army was in front, 21-0. Only for ten minutes in the third period did the Lions roar at all, and then they got only one touchdown.

The householder (Fredric March), a middle-aged department-store executive, gets home from work to find Bogart pointing a gun at the head of his wife (Martha Scott). His teen-age daughter (Mary Murphy) and ten-year-old son (Richard Ever) are held captive, too. "You pull anything," Bogart purrs, "I'll let you sit and watch...
...hunter made the acquaintance of the head sleepyhead (really a princess, danced by pretty Svetlana Beriosova), and the girls went into low-pressure love rites. The Russian fairy tale plot darkened further-got so dark, in fact, that only the program notes could make it almost clear. A gang of leaping fiends, Tartars and scimitarists introduced a horrid wizard (mimed by Frederick Ashton), but the Firebird returned and forced the whole evil crew to dance on and on to exhaustion. Then the hunter smashed the giant egg that contained the wizard's soul and married the beautiful princess. Curtain...
