...last week nonetheless sounded like the laborings of an untended boiler approaching the point of explosion. Iraq's newspapers triumphantly reported the capture of some of the men who had almost succeeded in killing Premier Abdul Karim Kassem (TIME, Oct. 19)-but gave no names. Scarcely had these good tidings been announced when Radio Baghdad trumpeted that another assassination plot had been uncovered-but gave no details...
Standing beside an F-105 jet fighter-bomber and ready for takeoff, it could have been the ghost of the old Flying Tiger himself, General Claire L Chennault, who died last year. There was good reason for the startling resemblance. The craggy-faced general's craggy-faced son, Air Force Major Claire P.

...citizens he treated last July to the spectacle of one of the most monumental binges of modern times. Proudly proclaimed Wife Beatrice, who did not accompany Behan on his summer pub safari: "He's been off the gargle for a week or two. He's been very good."

In 13 years of sleuthing, says 41-year-old Investigator Lipsett, he has been involved in only one serious scrape...
...long as the picture tells Sam's story, it is pleasantly entertaining. It is good to see Paul Muni again-Stranger on the Prowl (1953) was his last picture-and the folksy, matzo-barrel humor is fun. Unfortunately, the picture tells Sam's story for only 20 minutes or so. The rest of the time (about 80 minutes) the audience watches a big wheel (David Wayne) go round in circles trying to get Sam to appear on television and talk pretty for the people. Sam himself makes the only adequate comment on all this. He gets so sick...
