Visiting with President Eisenhower for 45 minutes one day last week were four top U.S. Negro leaders: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. of Montgomery, Ala.; N.A.A.C.P. Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins, A. (for Asa) Philip Randolph, founding (1925) boss of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and Lester B.

Her son, born in secret, is shipped away to Italy, but there's a fiord in his future. Ragnar's raiders capture the child and take him back to Norway as a thrall. Nobody knows that Ragnar is the boy's father, and Eric (Tony Curtis) loathes the old brute almost as much as he hates his half brother Einar (Kirk Douglas), who is Ragnar's legitimate...
