...Reds were grouping on the plain in front of the ramshackle city. That night, disguised in U.S. fatigues and baggy Korean civilian dress, the Communists came. The next day, Taejon rose convulsively to life in a hail of sniper bullets, a thunder of Communist artillery fire, the rising, smoky glare of burning gasoline stores. For three days. Dean and his ragged men fought in the streets and alleys and from house to house, contesting every inch of the Red advance. On the third day, Dean manned a new 3.5-in. bazooka, which had been flown in from the U.S. hours...
...spiritual light that comes into Mitchum's eyes when he gets a glom of Darnell, or then again it may only be the glare of some passing headlights. At any rate, it is fairly certain that Prizefighter Mitchum never had faith in anything but his good right hand. He loses that faith when he kills a man in the ring, and heads across the border to forget about it. There he meets Linda, for whom faith seems to be nothing more than confidence that she can keep one wiggle ahead of Jack Palance, a really frightening gunman who offers...
Gone! All gone!

His big "cue cards," which had been brought in only after news photographers had been shooed out of the room, were ready before him. On his right sat Attorney General...
Naples, though its slum alleys are still noisome and laundry festoons every tenement, no longer seems such a violent affront to its breathtaking setting. To the land of the Fra Angelicos and hand-painted Sicilian donkey carts has come the neon glare of modern living-billboards, Life Savers, Esso stations, Hopalong Cassidy, even a little TV. Venetian canals boast traffic lights, and only a lusty gondolier could raise his tenor above the gaseous snarl of motoscafi...
