...have dedicated my life to my art." Having already seen the overdressed girlie show she works in, a Western viewer may be somewhat confused by her attitude. But Brando has to pretend to take the situation seriously, and it plainly bores him. He has some fun now and then monkey-see-monkey-doing like the Japanese, but he seems to find it unsatisfying to have to scratch himself through a kimono...
Couple One is a somewhat surreal composition: an oversexed grease monkey (Cameron Mitchell) married to what he calls, when he's sore at her, "common Tennessee dirt" (Joanne Woodward). The girl looks like a chippy, and she can drink like a French drain when she's a mind to, but all she really wants is Social Acceptance and A Baby of Her Own. He, on the other hand, is strictly a smalltime sadist whose idea of fun is to kill Japs, and whose ambition is to be the local chief of police...
Ricardo Montalban, as Koli, fills the role, but with nothing special. He has one good song, a Calypso mockery of mankind called "Monkey in a Mango Tree." Josephine Premice, as the opportunistic second-to-most-eligible female around, is first rate, especially in "Leave the Atom Alone," an amusing try by the show's authors to be socially significant.

...finally announced isolation of the virus ("We wanted to make sure we really had a cold virus"). By then, Price was already well along in his experimental vaccination program. Using techniques similar to those employed in developing Salk anti-polio .vaccine, Price and his staff grew JH virus in monkey kidney tissue, killed it with formaldehyde to ready it for inoculation. Though development of JH vaccine seems a big step forward in cold prevention, it is far from a sneeze-ending panacea. Pending further studies, the American Medical Association is withholding judgment. Still to be determined, among other things: whether...
...Wolff can make guinea pig, monkey or cow embryos develop into monsters, but since the technique required with mammals is rather complicated, he now works almost entirely with hens' eggs. He cuts a hole in the shell and exposes the embryo, which in fresh-laid eggs is about as big as the head of a pin. Even at this early stage he knows what parts will develop into the head, wings or legs. By damaging the proper cells with a hair-thin beam of X rays, he can make the chick into a Cyclops. He can prevent wings from...
