...technology." Czech pharmaceutical officials, to cite an instance, want to buy American machinery for making plastic pill bottles. World Patent intends to export to Eastern Europe an American technique for cutting textiles by computer. Hayworth is also trying to find an American firm to use a Hungarian process for making motor oil that he claims "can clean an engine in 15 minutes...
...drawl. Namath's lazy inflections still suggest that his forebears fought under the tattered banners of Beauregard and Breckinridge. But as every true fan knows, Namath was born and raised in the Pennsylvania steel town of Beaver Falls (pop. 14,404), the youngest of four sons of a Hungarian-born steel puddler.

From the Goons, the Monty Python crew learned how to raise nonsense to dizzying heights: a filmed cabaret act of two brothers who play tape recorders concealed in their noses; a Hungarian tourist who reads to startled British shopkeepers such sentences as "My Hovercraft is full of eels" from a wildly mistranslated phrase book; a mob of old ladies, "Hell's Grannies," who terrorize London; an earnest competition for "Upper-Class Twit of the Year." These goonish concepts are executed with...
