Stilts & Filler. Two packs of savage short-haired dogs, Pavlovingly trained by Victoria Olkhovikova, line up every night to play soccer. They head the ball expertly, smash into one another, knock over nets and goal posts in canicidal scoring rushes, spill out of bounds by the yelping dozen, and engulf helpless photographers in their wild, uncontainable scrimmage. A man walking on 8-ft. stilts steps onto a springboard; two men jump onto the other end of the springboard, and the stilt man arcs into the air, 25 ft. up, slowly turning over in a backward somersault, landing perfectly...
...film he hears no voice, there is no revelation of Beelzebub; indeed, the title is left unexplained. Simon simply sees a pig's head on a stick. The orgy at the fireside ("Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!") has swept the boys into frenzy. As Simon scrambles out of the woods, they fall upon him and, making him surrogate for the beast, kill him. A brief and poignant scene follows: in the warm cradle of the surf Simon's small body is rocked to and fro, swaddled in a glimmer of phosphorus until...

A fellow exile leader, Dr. Manuel Antonio de Varona, said: "I never knew of a promise by President Kennedy for a second invasion of Cuba...
Purple Danger. Fred Wallace had been a bleeder since birth. The absence of AHG (antihemophilic globulin) from his blood taught him early to live with danger. Every childhood spill, every bloody nose, was agonizingly slow to heal. The scrapes and scuff marks of a growing boy remained for weeks as ugly, purple discolorations under the skin. But Fred, like most hemophiliacs, survived all such crises. Then the disease caused other problems. Last spring, on a Sunday outing, Fred and his father had walked away from their parked car so that Fred might snap a picture. Inexplicably, the car started rolling...
