...this time that Hospital Patient Kollar fell under their suspicion: the underground group feared that he would betray them. Said Ilona Toth: "I felt I had to kill him." When her needles failed, one of her companions stood on Kollar's neck and she dispatched him with a knife...
...bigoted Southern town, and of a young guitar-playing itinerant who arrives there. He becomes involved with its unhappy women, and as a result with its unreasoning men, to be chewed to death at last by its chain-gang bloodhounds. More intensively-amid daffy old ladies, a nymphomaniac outcast, knife-flashing bullies and gun-toting racists-it tells of the young man's affair with a woman whose Italian father was burned to death by a mob, and whose husband helped burn him.

Eight days later Claire Ward went to Chicago to appear before a meeting of chest physicians. Last October, almost nine years after her operation, she had a second child. She takes full care of her children and her second-floor walk-up apartment...
...necktie. Provide light snorts for ladies if entertaining. Effects of harder stuff on frail sex sometimes disastrous. Bathe in cold water every morning. Painful but exhilarating . . . Eat fresh fish for breakfast. Avoid kneeling in unheated stone churches. Ecclesiastical dampness causes prematurely gray hair. Fear tastes like a rusty knife and do not let her into your house. Courage tastes of blood. Stand up straight. Admire the world. Relish the love of a gentle woman. Trust in the Lord...
