MARRIAGE-ITALIAN STYLE. Director Vittorio De Sica (Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow) fields a pair of champions, Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, who romp through this hilarious, sentimental, fiercely moral old tearjerker about a Neapolitan pastrymaker who is dragged to the altar by an indomitable tart...
...Lenin's Banner, official organ of the Moscow District party, bared the Great Nipple Shortage. Last week, after tracing the problem from drugstore to Kremlin level, a pair of reporters revealed that there is not a single soska (rubber baby-bottle nipple) to be had in all the Moscow oblast. Although last year's central economic plan called for the production of 30 million nipples, only 12 million were actually manufactured.* The crusading reporters declared that the only plant making surgical rubber was denied authorization to increase production by the planners...

Said one almost-member: "It sounds too much like a society of garage mechanics...
...Martin? Look again. This rod has bulletproof windows, and can change license plates at the flick of a switch. Its radioscope tracks a bugged automobile 240 km. away. From vents in the rear it releases a smokescreen and an oil slick. From ports in the grille it protrudes a pair of machine guns. What's more, the rear axle of the chariot is armed with bladed hub caps that telescopically extend to chew up the rubber of an overtaking vehicle. And if the driver should decide to ditch an obstreperous passenger, he need only press a button: the roof...
