JENNERSTOWN, PA., Mountain Playhouse. Never Too Late is a one-gag show that takes off when a middle-aged wife tells her very middle-aged husband that they are to have another child. Papa-to-be protests: "When he gets out of college, I'll be going on 83-if he's smart." Sept...
...Communists from getting a major offensive of their own under way. The combat toll in Red manpower, Hanoi's most precious asset, has been horrendous: 50,000 Communist dead so far this year alone. By frequent ground sweeps and incessant bombing, the U.S. has destroyed the sanctuaries in mountain and jungle that the enemy so long enjoyed.

Eight waves of plunderers had overrun it before the Normans arrived in 1061 to add it to their already extensive holdings in southern Italy. In 31 years of savage combat, the Normans subdued the Saracens, who then controlled Sicily, ushering in an era of nationhood and peace the likes of which the island had never known before-nor was ever...
