...people are killed, and you have the satisfaction of knowing that if you don't like someone in the cast he'll probably be dead inside of a quarter of an hour. Still, after 90 minutes of slaughter, when the Indian chief makes a sign like Dave Garroway's and says, "No more killing, there has been enough bloodshed," you may regret that one or two more characters had not hit the Happy Hunting Ground before Bardot and Connery ride into the sunset...
...hall teems with devotees of the newly discovered twist. Outdoor movies attract audiences of hundreds each evening (10? to sit on the ground, 20? upstairs). But blockhouses and rusting gun barrels still pock the landscape, and laborers regularly unearth skeletons that have been buried beneath the sand for a quarter-century. It all came back, Sherrod reported-"the sweetly sickening smell of death given off by thousands of bodies rapidly rotting in the tropical sun, the sight of an island stripped of every one of its many thousands of coconut trees...
...left. In the Socialists' opinion, the opening never came, because the government proved to be more center than left. The Socialists complained that the Christian Democrats never delivered on promised economic and social reforms. As a result, in May's general election, the Socialists lost one-quarter of their votes to the extreme left. The Communists gained 800,000 votes, while the Christian Democrats gained slightly.

It is still not clear whether that withdrawal decision was tactical, to refit and regroup -as most U.S. military men believe - or whether...
...first half, it was practically all Yale, as Dowling ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more, one of them to Hill. The score was 22-0 deep in the second quarter, and the Elis seemed headed for an effortless victory. Then Harvard discovered a Merriwell of its own. Off the bench to replace the Crimson's harried regular Quarterback George Lalich, trotted Second Stringer Frank Champi, 20. A local boy from Everett, Mass., Champi's athletic reputation was based on his record as a javelin thrower...
