...dislike Mario Scelba with a special fervor. For Premier Scelba is a double threat: he leans to the left with a program that competes for the workman's allegiance, he is also the tough-minded Interior Minister who in 1948 cowed Italy's rioting Reds with his jeep-riding celere. Last week, as Scelba prepared to ask the Senate and Chamber to confirm his new government, the Communists took after him in the piazza and in Parliament...
...sang a bit before a microphone, but mostly she just showed off her unspoken lines. Results: stampedes of G.I.s tried to overrun cordons of military police; one amateur soldier-talent show haplessly billed ahead of Marilyn's appearance was stoned. Once, Marilyn had to take off by jeep from some 6,000 ill-disciplined troops who rushed the stage.

As Brotherhood students held memorial services for members killed battling the British in the Canal Zone two years ago, an army jeep rolled in, broadcasting pro-regime slogans. In a few moments Egypt's two great rival movements faced each other in battle order on the college grounds. Brotherhood students rushed forward, overturned the jeep and set it afire. Guns cracked and 20 fell wounded...
...Candy. Back in Denton, he started walking to his office every morning with Candy's assistance. Last week bad luck hit the sheriff again. He had no way of knowing, as he set out for work early one morning, that he was walking through a thick fog. A jeep driver, delivering newspapers, failed to see him until too late. The car killed both man and dog. The blind sheriff had one of the biggest funerals in local history; it was doubtful that Denton County would ever forget...
