...hernia, kept his eye peeled for a sign of recurrence of the cancer. On the hernia sac he found a suspicious-looking nodular implant. He noticed, too, that a small amount of abdominal fluid was released after the sac was cut away. By Walter Reed's high-speed pneumatic tubes he shot the tissue and the fluid to the laboratory for a routine examination. The verdict: tissue malignant, an adenocarcinoma. Further note: cancer cells were found floating in the abdominal fluid...
President Garcia himself seemed to be almost as wavering as his Tokyo officials.

And the big aircraft had winged 713 miles eastward through almost steady rain at 21,000 ft. with barely a bump...
Bold Venture, which was a radio vehicle for the late Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, is a carefully glued blend of sex and speed. Where Highway Patrol's Broderick Crawford roars about in a squad car and Whirlybirds' Ken Toby and Craig Hill soar through the sky in a helicopter, Actor Dane Clark as Shannon plows through the waves in a 62-ft. sloop. Dockside waits his nubile ward, played by Joan Marshall, whom Writer David Friedkin describes as a "lovely, whimsical, gay, arrant broad in love with a virile guy-only he doesn't want...
