...Jebel Tubeiq in the Jordanian desert, Sam Spiegel's Lawrence of Arabia company (with Peter O'Toole as Lawrence, Alec Guinness as Feisal) set up its camp under towering red dunes, 150 miles from the nearest oasis. Kerosene trucks brought water at a cost of about $3 a gallon, and Spiegel nearly turned into a pillar of salt when he learned that truck drivers were stopping en route to take showers. Then a couple of hundred Bedouins showed up one night, circled the camp, rattled their pots and pans and cried: "We are your guests...
...Among Chicago businessmen, President Modie Joseph Spiegel of Spiegel, Inc., the nation's third largest mail-order house, is known for unconventional shrewdness (he once cut his own salary in half because "I saw we were going to take a bath"). Now Modie Spiegel, restless and 60, has unfolded his most unconventional merchandising wrinkle yet: an offer to sell prescription drugs to members of Spiegel's "Budget Power Plan" by mail-and at cost.

Suddenly, Last Summer (Horizon; Columbia), the end product of Producer Sam (The Bridge on the River Kwai) Spiegel's attempt to multiply a one-act play by Tennessee Williams into a full-length feature picture, may not be the greatest movie ever made, but one thing can definitely be said of it: it is the only movie that has ever offered the paying public, for a single...
...Spiegel's findings, praised by West German Historian Theodor Eschenburg as "serious and scientific," point out that the case against Hitler, Göring & Co. rests on hearsay as suspect as the Nazi accusation against the Communists. Spiegel had used, among other evidence, the institute's files in Munich. Historian Anton Hoch, the institute's archivist, accepting the scientific basis of Spiegel's findings, commented: "We must report atrocities such as Auschwitz and Belsen concentration camps, but for the sake of truth we must also show that Nazis were not to blame for the Reichstag fire...
