...tried to get to the lock, only to be forced back. On the fourth try, he succeeded. "The door's open!" he cried. "Come out, boys, come on out!" He pulled several out himself, suffering burns on his face and back. Some staggered out on their own. Flames kept others from the exit, and ax-wielding guards and convicts frantically chopped a hole in the wall. "For God's sake, men," sobbed one of the rescued convicts, "come out." Only 16 did-and of those, three died later and five were injured...
...Communists at first insisted that the Be in jail was a fake touched up with expert plastic surgery to look like the real Be, and kept up the flow of adulation for their martyred hero. Now, stung by the way in which the Americans spread word of Be's nonheroic non-death-he hid in a river while the battle raged-they have switched to a terror campaign to silence those who can prove his identity...

Columbia could neither jibe nor tack without fouling Vim. Not until Mosbacher broke off for the starting line could Cunningham swing into action. By then, Vim was precious seconds in the lead...
...introduced Clint Eastwood as The Man with No Name. Now The Man is back, again played by Eastwood, but this time he comes equipped with a better plot, some real outdoor landscape, and a cast that looks even meaner than he does. As before, acting is forbidden; histrionics are kept to a contest of who can give his lip the tightest curl and who can give his eyes the narrowest squint. The competition results in a slit decision between Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, another Hollywood-to-Italy refugee cast as a rival bounty hunter...
