...hardheaded peasant's son, a construction engineer who once worked with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, later amassed a private fortune as an Ankara contractor. He inherited the party and prestige of Turkey's slain strongman, Adnan Menderes, and adroitly harnessed the demirkirat, or iron grey horse, which was the symbol of Menderes' Democratic Party, for his own Justice Party...
Cheers in the Cathedral. The journey ended at Fifth Avenue's St. Patrick's Cathedral. As the Pope entered the great grey church, 3,500 invited guests welcomed him with a roof-raising hosanna of cheers and applause, a response never heard before in the cathedral's staid confines. Moist-eyed at the greeting, Paul prayed briefly before the high altar; a chorus intoned the traditional Tu Es Petrus (Thou Art Peter).

The real and the unreal merge, and soon her human victims appear. The first is a suitor (John Fraser) whose conventional acts of gallantry lead to a gruesome end. Later an indignant landlord (played with mordant, bumbling humor by Patrick Wymark) comes to collect his rent and lingers to try his luck. Right up to the grisly climax, the audience seldom wonders what...
