Full Cycle. With his journalist's eye, Author Moorehead does not overlook the story's gaudy set pieces, including the mass funeral of revolutionaries at which 1,000,000 people, or half the population of Petrograd, marched in silence (the dead were buried without religious services, but next day. in a shamefaced gesture, priests were brought to say prayers). And there is also the unforgettable picture of Lenin being transported-in Churchill's phrase "like a plague bacillus"-across Germany in the famous sealed train. Lenin made his associates retire to the train toilet to smoke...
...Last Resort. Neither the U.S. nor Britain was keen to move in, but it was a last resort that neither Lebanon nor its friends could overlook last week.

Badmen usually underestimate McGraw, but all women smile seductively at him. He hits it off fine with most cops, who overlook his occasional infractions in the line of duty. The most human of all TV's hireling snoopers, McGraw has sometimes mistaken a crook's pocketed finger for a gun, has dived prudently for cover when a real equalizer was pulled...
...result is that many a televiewer firmly believes in the existence of Overlook, Verdict's fictitious small city (pop. 125,000), its malefactors and martyrs, its country club and Skid Row, the awful goings-on at the outlying Mountain View Inn. Recalls Director Paul: "One of our lawyers got a long-distance call from a Cleveland woman. She wanted to pay his poor client's legal...
