...resistance aimed at achieving national freedom." Besides the grave, soft-spoken archbishop and his church are two other groups more openly committed to violence in support of enosis - an underground terrorist gang called E.O.K.A. and the Cyprus Communist Party, whose 18,000-member Pancypriot Labor Federation has a hammer lock on the island's labor force, and whose membership includes the mayors of the second, third and fourth largest towns on the island. Communists obviously espouse the cause for troublemaking reasons alone, for if Cyprus really did fall to Greece, the Reds would be outlawed, just as they...
...work in the morning, and in the evening daughter dates her young lawyer (Gig Young). But people make mistakes. Little Richard writes a warning to teacher in his copybook, and father intercepts it only just in time. Another time March manages, by a brilliant stroke of opportunity, to lock two of the brutes out of the house and overpower a third. He leaps to the phone-only to hear his wife cry out that Bogart has got the boy, who had chosen that moment for an attempt to sneak out the window and run for help. Worst...

Among the institute's odd relics: a lock of Lincoln's hair and a sliver of bone from his skull; the leg lost by General Dan Sickles at the end of the battle at Gettysburg; parts of the brains of Mussolini and Nazi Boss Robert...
...word "pop" was an understatement. After slamming the door on more capital investment by U.S. companies last winter (TIME, Dec. 20 et seq.), Japan now seemed to be doing its best to lock out individual U.S. businessmen as well. Even for low-income businessmen the rates are prohibitive, e.g., a $6,000-a-year businessman with three dependents must pay $2,639 in taxes v. some $600 in the U.S. On a $20,000 salary, the bite is $12-680 v. about $4,124 at home...
