Naked Naiads. The biggest, noisiest and naughtiest contender in the new spystakes is The Silencers, with Crooner Dean Martin playing Matt Helm, a secret agent for ICE (Intelligence Counter Espionage). Its plot pits Helm against the mastermind of one of those atomic conspiracies, headquartered in what appears to be a sunken carrier under the desert near Alamogordo. But the real contest is between nudity and gadgetry. The striptease fun, with Cyd Charisse as team captain, begins during the opening credits, then gets right down to business in Martin's circular bed, which turns, travels, tilts, finally plunges him naked...
...Monopolies." The trouble was triggered by an invasion: since 1958, some 15,000 French ex-colonials, mostly from Algeria and many of Corsican origin, have swarmed onto the island. Their arrival has turned France's most underdeveloped department into its noisiest headache. The "repatriates" grabbed up much of the island's fertile eastern plain-a region that accounts for nearly half of Corsica's arable land, but was uninhabitable because of malaria until U.S. Army engineers cleared it with insecticides during World...

P.A.P. campaigned for nine seats on the mainland, and, though it captured only one, the lone victory was warning enough that the P.A.P. might begin to lure large numbers of Malay voters away from the Tunku's United Malay Nationalist Organization. Stumped Kampongs. Noisiest of the Malay "ultras" who demanded harsh measures against the Chinese was the secretary-general of the Tunku's U.M.N.O., Jaafar Albar, who stumped the rural kampongs (villages), soon had crowds shouting, "Crush Lee!", and was emerging as a rival of the Tunku himself. Albar demanded that Lee Kuan...
...sent his personal plane to Bogalusa to fetch A. Z. Young and Robert Hicks, Voters League president and vice president. "If we don't find the answers in 30 days, you can start demonstrating again," McKeithen told them. He vowed to rid Bogalusa of two of the noisiest white agitators: "I'll have them out of town within six hours after you agree to a cooling-off period...
