...months ago slim, brown-eyed Nadia, now 19, returned to Jordan where a good government job awaited her. Fiancé Stepho Stephan, 22, followed, and their pleased families announced a fall wedding. But last week the pampered pair stood not at an altar but at the bar of justice, on trial for their lives...
...Attention. The high school films Combustion and Chlorine focus narrowly on their subjects, show only a pair of hands-those of Phillips Academy (Andover) Chemistry Master Elbert Weaver -performing experiments. Explanations are amplified by animated drawings showing molecular action. Weaver's scripts are tough enough to keep students out of that double-feature daze, call for as much attention as a classroom lecture.

...befriends Montgomery Pew, a feckless but amiable young Jumble who holds a job with a government welfare bureau.

But Manager Haney thinks that he has all the varsity pitching he needs right now. Says he of his four young pitchers: "Each one pitches a helluva game every time...
...merchant's preference for finance rather than romance. "Marriage," he snorts, "is a bribe to make a housekeeper think she's a householder." Even worse, the old skinflint seems set on marrying somebody young. Author Wilder's solution, which involves exploding tomato tins, a pair of Vandergelder's clerks uprooting the City of New York, a pretty milliner whose rival is purely mythical, and a demoniac dinner party, makes no sense at all-but does make scatterbrained nonsense...
