...predawn gloom at Leopold ville's Ndjili Airport, the DC-8 jetliner whined to a halt on the hardstand. Almost coyly, it poked its nose between a pair of aircraft chartered to ferry the last United Nations soldiers away from the Congo. From the hatch of the first-class compartment stepped a tall, plump man in a severe black suit, grinning like an African Fernandel. Burly, rifle-swinging Congolese cops and nervous Surete plainclothesmen hustled him into a black Chevy Impala with government plates, and off he sped into the flower-and sewage-scented dark.

...switched to a larger Foster frame to accommodate his 6-ft. 2-in., 230-lb. bulk. Named for the Houston surgeon who devised it in 1939 for recuperating back-fracture patients, the Foster frame is a kind of reversible bed in which the patient is immobilized between a pair of sturdy canvas slings.

Bedtime Story is a witless, one-joke soporific concocted by a pair of usually wide-awake Hollywood pitchmen. This time out, Producer-Writer Stanley Shapiro (Lover Come Back, That Touch of Mink) and Co-Author Paul Henning have pitched a Mickey to the comic muse. Story unfolds against rear-projection views of the Riviera, where a bogus Highness (David Niven) and an ex-U.S. Army corporal (Marlon Brando) pool their resources to squeeze a living out of wealthy women such as Dody Goodman, an Omaha madcap just born to be trimmed. The thieves fall out, of course, when they...
