Menu: tee-hee (scented with sociology) and a side dish of red-white-and-bluestriped slapstick, charmingly served by Marlon Brando. Glenn Ford, Machiko Kyo (TIME...

"They're gonna learn democracy if I've gotta shoot every one of them," the colonel roars at Captain Fisby (Glenn Ford) as he bids the captain Godspeed to the village of Tobiki on Okinawa, where Fisby is assigned as military governor...

Outside the main stadium, but earning points that counted for as much, Bantamweight Charles Vinci of York, Pa. hoisted 753.5 Ibs. aloft and Featherweight Isaac Berger of Brooklyn lifted 776.5 Ibs. to corral another pair of gold medals...
