...lawyer-lieutenant (Michael Lipton) chosen to defend Hamp is aloof, yet earnest, and thoroughly determined to help him. But Hamp (Robert Salvio) is hard to help precisely because he is a simple soul of truth, a pebble of innocence without a tongue-wag of self-protective deviousness in his nature. He ran away, he tells his lawyer and the court, because one day the mud-and-blood bath of battle got to be too much for him. He doesn't have the foggiest idea if he ever intended coming back to his outfit. All he knows is that...
...struggle within the Government. Illinois' VioBin Corp. has been exporting fish flour since 1955, and in 1961 the company sought FDA approval for U.S. distribution. Though VioBin expected only a modest market in the U.S., where protein-deficient diets are not a major problem, U.S. approval promised to help convince countless purchasers overseas. But the FDA then ruled that no matter how well it might be sterilized in processing, the light tan powder must be considered "adulterated and filthy" because it included every part of the fish-head, tail, guts and all.

But scientific help is on the way for aircraft-as well as for the birds, which fare even worse in aerial collisions...
...Dinosaur & a Colonel. The girls differ in their acting as much as they do in their looks. Lynn, by the very bumptiousness of her nature, seems almost doomed to be a comedienne. She doesn't particularly try to be funny; she just can't help it. She is a madcap mimic who at an instant's notice can turn into anything that stands on two, four or 36 legs. She does an imitation of a dinosaur that would bring Alley Oop on the run, and she takes off a pukka colonel so vividly that the onlooker can hear his imaginary...
