...anxiety over the loss of these two statesmen may prove valuable if it succeeds in bringing out the diplomatic leadership potential in the West. Dulles and Adenauer-not to mention Chiang Kai-shek and DeGaulle-can not be expected to stay around forever.

Wilder took much less of a commercial chance in signing up Marilyn Monroe for her first role in two years.

The alarms ran through dinnertime: some families got up from the table and dumped their filleted flounder into the garbage can. Housewives who were saving it in the refrigerator got rid of it in a hurry. Hospital switchboards lit up and were jammed for hours. Emergency rooms filled fast. About 300 people who said they had eaten flounder got treatment: some were hypochondriacs, most were mild cases, a few were severely poisoned. As far as officials knew, there were no more deaths...
