...discounted some predictions that the comet will collide with the sun. But it could be broken up by the sun's radiation and gravitational field. If it survives its solar encounter, the comet discovered by a piano-key polisher and a guitar instructor will then disappear into the nether reaches of space-considerably beyond Pluto-and will not come hack into view for some 500 to 1,000 years...
Under the anything-goes direction of England's Tony Richardson (Tom Jones), Loved One tosses so many wreaths into the nether world of American funeral customs that it occasionally scores a dead ringer. That chrome-plated butterball, Liberace, is hilariously on key as a casket salesman, peddling such optional extras as the standard-eternal or perpetual-eternal flames ("The standard burns only during visiting hours"). Milton Berle and Margaret Leighton enliven one interlude as a married pair squabbling over the remains of their dear departed, a dog named Arthur. Jonathan Winters succeeds outrageously as the mastermind of Whispering Glades...
...Netherlands has two especially outstanding monetary experts: Nether lands Bank President Marius Holtrop, 62, a first-rate banker of conservative leanings who is now president of the Bank for International Settlements, and Treasurer General Emile van Lennep, 50, who heads both Working Party III and the Common Market Monetary-Committee.

Coiffed in a black mushroom wig, she swayed and shimmied, shedding red chiffon veils until she was down to black net tights and corset...
...nether border of the Negro's world is Central Park. From just one block north, the fresh breezes and greenery seem a planet distant. Here is 111th Street, between Fifth and Madison Avenues, infested with prostitutes and dope addicts. Up a ways, at 118th and Lenox Avenue, is "junkie's corner," and at the New York Central overpass at 125th Street, over which suburban commuters ride every day between air-conditioned offices and well-kept homes, Negro prostitutes wait for white johns who know the spot and drive by in their cars...
