...Assembly president rang his silver bell, the Communists and Socialists banged their desks, the Poujadists sang the Marseillaise, and the center looked on in shocked silence. "You are a danger to the Republic," one aroused Deputy shouted at the Poujadists. "Yes-to the republic of cronies," retorted Poujadist Jean-Marie Le Pen. The Chamber of Deputies, which had been stunned to discover the voters of France had elected 53 vulgar persons called Poujadists to their republic of cronies, was trying to get rid of the fellows by other means...
Called in by a London newspaper to investigate Parson Smith's complaints, Harry sped to Borley Rectory on June 12, 1929. Soon the old place began acting up as it never had before. Keys shot out of their keyholes like projectiles. Bells rang with no one to ring them. Pebbles and candlesticks hurtled through the air. Rappings and tappings sounded from all sides like a telegraphers' convention. Even the ghostly nun Marie put in a polite appearance in honor of the visitor.

But Nasser does not believe that Egypt is ready for such rights and freedom: he fears to turn the country back to "the old politicians" until his dedicated group has made more progress against Egypt's immemorial poverty, disease, corruption. So on the last page, Nasser's constitution...
...second night of Lear's run, Orson Welles was completely crippled. Having broken his left ankle just before the opening, he sprained the right one immediately after it. Despite poor notices, Manhattan's City Center was packed when the second-night curtain rang up and Welles was rolled out in a wheelchair, one foot encased in a plaster cast, the other swathed in bandages. At 40, and weighing 260 Ibs., the heavy-jowled "boy wonder'' no longer looked like a precocious cherub, but he quickly demonstrated that he had not lost his showmanship...
