Scheduled to follow Bayar was former Premier Adnan Menderes, a hollow-eyed, sunken-cheeked wreck of his once plump and sleek self. In a barely audible voice, he earlier told the court he had been kept in solitary confinement for more than four months, had been allowed only 27 minutes with a defense lawyer two days before the trial. Complained Menderes: "My nerves are shattered." The main charge against him was "activities contrary to the constitution." But the first specific was that he had fathered a child by a Turkish opera singer, and then had given orders to kill...
...story, briefly, tells of David Poole, an ambitious county prosecutor (played by Jack Lemmon), who is able to forget that he is witness to a suicide in order to convict an innocent suspect and become a Hero. Albert Dekker as the sheriff eggs him on toward his hollow stand for Right and Justice, and James Donald as the deputy prosecutor warns him of the power the accused's family wields, which just set him more firmly in his course. But only a Negro secretary, Elizabeth Falk (portrayed by Ellen Holly) knows his secret...
Francis Jeanson, the leader of the group, is a former professor of philosophy and onetime secretary of France's literary angry man, Jean-Paul Sartre. Hollow-chested, tuberculous Jeanson escaped the police raid that caught his followers.

...decades the U.S. has prided itself on the purity of its drinking water. Today in many places the boast rings hollow. Sioux City, Iowa dumps ten tons of raw human sewage into the Missouri River daily; about half survives the trip downstream to the intake station through which Omaha, Neb. draws its entire city water supply. Necessity has forced Omaha to build one of the nation's finest water-purification plants, purchase $36,000 worth of chlorine a year. Still, says a Nebraska sanitation official, the water at times tastes "like hell-fire." In St. Louis County, residents have...
...Hollow Laughter. In The Night of Time, Author Fü;p-Miller, an encyclopedic, Hungarian-born historian who teaches sociology at Manhattan's Hunter College, produced a soberly symbolic essay on the fatuity of war. Wider in scope, The Silver Bacchanal reveals man as an Absurd Animal, torn between hope and despair, ideal love and an insatiable lust. Fü;p-Miller's instrument of dissection is irony, e.g., the army's bureaucratic campaign against disease-carrying houseflies, in which the city is divided into sectors manned by bumbling brigades of swatters. But the laughter...
