Married. Erwin D. ("Spike") Canham, 64, editor of the Christian Science Monitor from 1945 to 1964 and its present editor in chief; and Patience Mary Daltry, 40, his British-born assistant book editor; he for the second time (his wife of 37 years died last August), she for the first; in Boston...
...responsible for this repertory of parody is Peter Schickele, a chubby, flop-haired imp of 32, who has done for classical music what Spike Jones did for pop. Since Schickele started his P.D.Q. Bach concerts in New York City three years ago, the baroque revival has never been the same. What makes his satire so devastating is that even his broadest buffoonery is backed by thorough knowledge and fine musicianship; he is an experienced "serious" composer who took a degree at Juilliard and studied with Roy Harris and Darius Milhaud...
Looking at the situation, the U.S. decided that the only way to defend Khe Sanh was by a massive application of airpower. At Tan Son Nhut airport outside Saigon, General William W. ("Spike") Momyer set up a special command whose sole mission was to orchestrate an aerial operation around Khe Sanh.

Rosson-figured out the most logical places for Giap to concentrate men and supplies, then designated those areas as prime targets...

One high-wire artist is garroted by his wire, another is skewered on a bed of bayonets, the manager gets a tent spike neatly through the noggin, and a Lady-Who-Gets-Sawed-in-Half gets sawed in half. In between, the usual circus acts-elephants, horses, dogs, wild animals, aerialists-plus repeated shots of the audience giggling and gasping, pad out the film to the conventional 90 minutes...
Died. Frazier Hunt, 82, who helped cast the stereotype of the dashing, trench-coated foreign correspondent; of a stroke; in Abington, Pa. "Spike" Hunt lived and wrote in the same style-first person singular. Beginning with World War I, he embarked on a Cook's tour of hot spots and the men who caused them-Lenin founding his Bolshevik regime, Pancho Villa hiding in Mexico's mountains, Sun Yat-sen ensconced in China, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk embattled in Turkey; during World War II, he renewed an intimate working friendship with Douglas MacArthur and later wrote...
