Chairman Kappel now earns $271,667 a year and lives in a four-bedroom, six-telephone house in Bronxville, a New York suburb. He allows few ex pensive tastes to enter his well-modulated life. His wife does the cooking, except for parties. Kappel doesn't smoke, rarely drinks, and faithfully attends Bronxville's Dutch Reformed Church, whose 3,000 members make it the largest church of that denomination in the U.S. He does not openly participate in party politics ("I don't believe that I should"), but he likes to read books of a political nature...

...story buildings, sent their yards-long steel fingers combing through sand that gushed from giant tubes. Then, suddenly, there was silence. High on a granite crag overlooking the scene, two men pressed two tiny buttons. A muffled explosion sent rock whirling into the sky, and as the smoke cleared the River Nile changed its course for the first time under the hand...

Henry V. Something resembling a thunderbolt is heard offstage. Out of nowhere, what seem like a hundred men are shouting, sweating, straining as they haul a cannon to stage center. It belches smoke. It is hidden in smoke. The whole theater is going up in smoke. A man has mounted the cannon, but it is difficult to see him, let alone hear him.

Goliath and the Vampires improbably combines a routine fang film with a beefcake B. Kobrak, the villain, is a vampire who drinks the blood of gorgeous girls from a golden goblet, appears and disappears in a pretty little puff of bright pink smoke, assembles an army of zombies with which to conquer the world. Goliath (Gordon Scott), the hero, is a fellow who has obviously spent more time in Malibu than in Gath. According to a studio release, he stands 6 ft. 3 in., weighs 212 lbs. and sports a 50-in. bust-bigger than Jayne Mansfield...

...house up in flame. His wife and daughter dead, Barry survives, a hideously deformed monster with a "carbonized" brain. Crazed, hunted, vowing fiery vengeance, he hides behind a mask that inexplicably looks just like his old self. To keep the movie's audience from straying out for a smoke, there are some stunning pyrotechnics, views of the rugged Spanish landscape and -at last-the ghastly terrain of Sullivan's singed face, done to a turn by a mad makeup artist...
