...proffered by the picture. Producer Charles Feldman, apparently fearful of taking a Royale drubbing on his investment, has tried to bolster the box-office potential by casting Deborah Kerr as a mocking-burred Scotswoman, Orson Welles as an enemy agent, Jean-Paul Belmondo as a Foreign Legionnaire and George Raft as himself...
David Niven and Orson Welles, Ursula Andress and Deborah Kerr, William Holden and George Raft, John Huston, Charles Boyer, Joana Pettet, Daliah Lauri, and in furtive appearances, Peter O'Toole and Jean Paul Belmondo, round out Casino Royale's company.

Bucolic Reactionary. For Ted Agnew, who beat George Mahoney, a Democratic, demagogic segregationist last November, the raft of new laws meant fulfillment of his most important campaign promises during his first three months in office-with Democratic majorities of better than 4 to 1 in both houses.

After posing in the rosy-fingered dawn for a photographer from the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, the wanderers steamed off toward Palm Beach...
According to Japanese press reports from the Chinese capital, he cited a raft of Red Guard excesses. "You often try the leaders at kangaroo courts," he said. "On the death of Chang Lin-chih, minister for the coal industry, my mind is not at rest. He suddenly died-after a trial that lasted 40 days." Chou chewed out the Guards for other, less fatal outrages-against the minister for railroads, the minister for agricultural land reclamation and the minister for commerce, one Yao Yilin. "I have had to order him to take a rest," said Chou. "I understand you have...
