...easy that fans could almost believe him when he insisted that in regular meets, he often works far harder. He started out by winning the 100-meter dash. He won the broad jump, placed third in the shot put, dropped to ninth in the high jump, with an injured knee, but tied for first (with Notre Dame's Aubrey Lewis) in the 400-meter run, toughest of the first day's tests...
...Switzerland, fat, sad ex-King Farouk of Egypt, who still cherishes the notion that he was a benign despot, succeeded in looking like a benign father. His three daughters (Ferial, Fadia, Fawzia) are by Farida, his first wife, who in three tries bore him no male heirs.

A double...
...interesting idea of shooting 30,000 feet of film in Kenya and then hiring a writer to think up a plot. What results is an African western with ferocious Mau Mau taking the place of rampaging Sioux and a biff-bang ending that has Victor Mature standing knee-deep in corpses just as the soldiers come charging to the rescue. Along the way are the usual scenes of trumpeting elephants, petulant rhinos, man-eating lions and fiendish crocodiles with an eye for a pretty girl-in this instance, Janet Leigh. In fact, most of the denizens have their...
