Brown appears-reluctantly, it often seems-as an American sailor in Bombay trying to track down the man who murdered his shipmate by cutting him into "Christmas ribbons." When the bad guy's "holy assassins" rough Kenner up and leave him for dead, he is helped out by a quaint little street urchin (Ricky Cordell) and his humanistic Mom (Madlyn Rhue). After a couple of weeks of tender care from Junior and loving from Mom, Kenner is ready to resume his mission. All that talk around the house about karma and reincarnation, however, has cramped his vindictive style. From...
...brought a character named Johnny Fortune from Lagos to London twelve years ago, few people in England were thinking of racial tension or predicting an Enoch Powell. Maclnnes set Johnny and a white friend loose in an African and West Indian shadow world full of jouncing characters with cross-rough names: Mr. Peter Pay Paul, Mr. Karl Marx Bo (a future Prime Minister for sure), Mr. Ronson Lighter, and villainous Billy Whispers.

...close for the first 600 meters. Rowing at 37, Harvard managed to stay within a half a length of Penn, which had settled to a 351/2. Both boats found it rough going as they had to battle a 16-18 knot headwind which had sent water over the gunnals in the earlier freshman and J.V. races...
Also, Harvard stroked too high too early in the race. Because the water was so rough, the Crimson crew was noticeably tired after the first 500 meters. And once it was behind, Harvard couldn't afford to cut the pace. The lower-stroking Penn boat was able to conserve enough to easily counter Harvard's tired sprint...
