Although Salazar's censors tried to hide the fact, the revolt in northern Angola smoldered on unchecked. In one month, if reports trickling out from the scene could be believed, terrorists had killed 350 white Portuguese. Gangs of Africans armed with long-bladed panga knives were attacking isolated farmhouses of Portuguese settlers. Excited reports from up-country told of five whites and two Africans holding off a band of attackers at the village of Lucunga until their ammunition ran out and they were overrun and hacked to pieces. The terrorists also were attacking blacks loyal to the regime...
Wickedness & Wheezes. Liz Taylor beautifully ghastly after her severe siege of pneumonia and in no mood to hide it capped the evening by staggering gracefully onstage, supported by Husband Eddie Fisher, to accept her Best Actress award (nominally for the margarinal Butterfield 8 but actually, wise guys said for the pneumonia and for such past successes as Suddenly, Last Summer).

...York high school girls who get pregnant-as about 1,000 girls under 17 in the city do each year-get taken out of school "for the good of the school." This threat tends to scare young, unwed mothers-to-be so much that they often try to hide their condition, and fully half of them manage, with skillful dissembling, to get away with it and stay in school. In consequence, they mostly do without prenatal care, and many of the resulting babies are stillborn. To break this chain of unhappy events, the New York State department of social welfare...
