...shifting the scene from a godforsaken island to an alpine retreat, they are able to engineer a couple of spectacular deaths among the crags, but the mood of boxed-in menace is efficiently destroyed. Held to a laggard pace, such veteran actors as Stanley Holloway, Wilfred Hyde-White and Leo Genn convey the resigned air of specialists summoned too late to be really useful. Mod sex appeal is dragged in by Shirley Eaton, fisticuffs by Hugh O'Brian. And, unlikely as it seems, there is Teen Idol Fabian, quaffing a lethal dose of poison immediately after singing a song...
...entourage was organized by Bobby Leo '67, a Harvard halfback from Everett. Leo was recruited by A. David Mazzone '50, a personal friend, who is O'Donnell's campaign manager...
...have faulted the U.S. for naively seeking to impose U.S.-style democracy on South Viet Nam. Conversely, others condemn Washington for supporting an undemocratic regime in Saigon. Both miss the essential point.

The Cardinals won the World Series in 1926-and over the next 16 years they went on to win five Na tional League pennants and three world...
Laughing 20's melts resistance with the team's first co-starring effort, Putting Pants on Philip, made in 1926 under Supervising Director Leo Mc-Carey, with George Stevens as cameraman. Stan plays a kilted skirt-chaser, accompanied by shamefaced Ollie through shrewdly orchestrated slapstick etudes. From Soup to Nuts is a tiny masterpiece of physical comedy, as rigorously controlled as ballet in its step-by-step demolition of an elegant dinner party by two nincompoop waiters for whom a dog, a banana peel, three whipped-cream cakes, and a lady in a sliding tiara...
