...bosom as it heaved in a wild dance at a private Roman orgy. When Katharine Hepburn passed through town recently, the paparazzi mounted Vespa scooters, putt-putted out to waylay her at Fiumicino Airport. Because Ava Gardner once called him a dirty name. Paparazzo Tazio Secchiaroli vengefully hid for hours in a cardboard box on a Cinecitta movie lot, finally got what he came for: an unflattering shot of Ava in an old bath towel, hair wet and stringy...

...away and find a quiet place, because otherwise I'll lose my mind." Laying over briefly at the same terminal, Katharine Hepburn was equally distraught. Wearing a safari garb that turned out to be appropriate for the jungle war that en sued, she streaked through the airport, hid out in a washroom, was finally foiled only after ducking into a plane that turned out to be the wrong one.

Stocky, heavy-featured Pierre, known to the police derisively as "Pretty Boy," specialized in stealing cars and smuggling pinball machines into France. On the run and out of money, Pierre hid out in an abandoned farmhouse near tiny Grisy-lesPlâtres, 30 miles from Paris.

Tossing the book...

...rather than by what they do--achieve-shortly to make him stop work on that section of road. Thereupon, the jokesters took off to the nearest police station where they informed the constabulary that some irresponsible undergraduates, masquerading as workmen, were tearing the road to pieces. The conspirators then hid. It didn't take long for both sides to discover the trick but the confusion was magnificent while it lasted...
