HELP! The new ring on Ringo's finger puts him in double jeopardy from a couple of mad scientists and a band of Oriental cutthroats. The result is a wild spin cycle of sight gags and exotic locations. The Beatles really haven't much to do except romp along with the frantic action...
...education began in medicine, but soon ended because he couldn't stand the sight of blood. But he's not bothered when violence breaks out, "because it's usually my own blood and I can stand that." He then trained for the ministry but refused ordination because of discrimination in the church. During the war he was race-relations secretary to a pacifist organization and afterwards a labor organizer and radio commentator. Now as CORE's chief planner and spokesman, he makes over 200 speeches a year, but never uses notes or a text. "I haven't time to prepare...

Buick's Riviera shucks its triangular front-vent windows in favor of a single pane, also has out-of-sight headlights that slide behind the grille when not turned on. Chrysler's front fenders have a square look, and its grille, borrowing from Pontiac, is split...
