...dust devil, nothing bothers Clark-except, of course, the fact that he has to act. But like most of his parts, this one requires nothing much but his anxious little smirk. On the other hand, he seems comfortably conscious (as moviegoers will be awkwardly aware) that the winds which howl about his hairdo do not shake the trees in the processed backgrounds; and he arrives in Montana looking as fresh as a 54-year-old daisy can. At that point, Jane spreads her quilt for him again, and even the villain has to crawl. "He's what every...
...result, he was in fairly constant trouble with his boss. Once on a diplomatic visit to Iraq, Salem impulsively waved aside all Egyptian objections to a pact between Iraq and its neighbors, Syria and Jordan. Egypt's closest ally, King Saud of Saudi Arabia, promptly raised a howl of protest, and Nasser hastily sent Salem off on a "leave of absence." He flew into a fit of temperament that only his older brother, Wing Commander Gamal Salem, the Deputy Premier, was able to smooth over. Again, at a diplomatic conference in India, he became so annoyed at the protocol...
...borrowing was on Climax!, whose One Night Stand was a derivative howl from the hot jazz nights of the 1930s. Obeying the Musician's Law in dramatic writing (as immutable as the Newsman's Law, which requires a press card in every hat), the story was, of course, a tearjerker: a talented jazz pianist discovers that he has tuberculosis but wants to die beating out his rhythms in cellar joints instead of getting cured in a nice, clean sanatorium.

The increase was overdue (in three of the past four years, the nationalized coal tipples have run at a loss), but when it came, Britons set up a howl. "We are frankly staggered," complained the head of the Federation of British Industries (Britain's equivalent of the N.A.M.). Said a Tory M.P., pointing the accusing finger at Tory Minister of Fuel Geoffrey Lloyd: "You will finish up by bankrupting the country...
...deplorably inadequate. Jazz-loving Socialite Louis L. Lorillard promptly paid $22,500 for Belcourt, the enormous, run-down pile of the late O.H.P. Belmont, and announced that this was where things would jump during the festival's three days. At this the neighbors set up a well-modulated howl and complained to the city fathers. Eventual compromise: jam sessions in the city-owned ballfield, Freebody Park (seating 11,800), lectures by hipsters ("Jazz from the Inside Looking Out") and social scientists ("Jazz from the Outside Looking In") to be held during two afternoons at Belcourt...
