...Year's Day, their swag recovered, the thieves flee to a suburban hideout with the 100 million and a doe-eyed poule, impishly played by Marie Laforêt. Accidentally glued together in transit, the franc notes must be washed and ironed, Marie decrees. Her laundry is only half done, festooning every square inch of space, when someone notices that gendarmes have surrounded the villa-not to reclaim the clean lucre, after all, but to capture a wild bull in the garden. Though Department Store follows the perennial Rififi formula, Director Pierre Grimblat has wrapped up an ingenious package...
...uprisings among its 4,000,000 Negro tribesmen against their Arab rulers from the North. The Sudan's Prime Minister, moderate Mohammed Ahmed Mahgoub, announced in Khartoum last week that "the situation is much improved. The rebels will be crushed by the end of this year."

That news is unlikely to thrill any but the most Fuhardy addicts...
...Route 14, a mere 30 miles north of Saigon. In the hope of avoiding a disaster like the one fortnight ago at nearby Dongxoai (rhymes with wrong's why), U.S. planners in Saigon searched for a means to trap the concealed Communist troops by surprise in their jungle hideout. SAC had long been restless to get into the war, and General William C. Westmoreland, commander of U.S. forces in South Viet Nam, gave SAC its wish. The big bombers would unroll a carpet of destruction, carefully tacked down by radar-controlled bombsights guaranteed to produce pinpoint accuracy. The plan...
