...Tammy Teen will, and she will squeal over Sean just as loud as mother eeeeeked for Errol. The boy looks like his old man-he has the same empty, eager eyes and the same silly, lopsided smile. And the young pup acts like the old dog too-he is already known in the trade as Flynn-Tin-Tin. But Sean has something going for him besides his moniker. He has an All-American body and a wild Irish charm. He seems born to be a Hollywood buccaneer and climb upon the rigging like his daddy used...

The throng fidgets: gloves drop, eyeglasses break, drunks mutter, old men complain and ask to be taken home, sophisticates yawn but stay rooted, teen-agers warm up for the squeal. Someone starts the rumors ("She's gone to Beirut, or Beverly Hills, or some place; she's not here; she's never coming; she never has been here, neither has he").

Gleefully, he imitated the high-pitched Chinese speech when he talked about their "seemingly revolutionary squeals, which are really squeals of despair." He called them Trotskyites, and hinting at the fate that lies ahead for Mao, Khrushchev shouted: "Where is Trotsky now? Rotting...

Smart victims can fight back. One fairly effective weapon is a broad-band radio receiver that gives a squeal if a bug is transmitting near by. Another anti-bug is carried around the room while the occupant keeps talking loudly; if he hears his own voice in the earphones, he is listening to the output of a hidden bug. The best defense is a thorough, periodic search by an electronic exterminator. Otherwise, anyone who suspects he is being bugged should talk in low tones and keep a radio or TV squawking loudly. One spy fiction dodge, turning on the shower...

Armour in recent years has pushed both modernization and diversification to make use of almost everything in an animal but its squeal. Most of its processes, from skinning to tinning, are now controlled by buttons, and new byproducts have led Armour in promising directions. From bone meal, it has moved strongly into all types of fertilizer. Tentative steps into Pharmaceuticals with pepsin from hog stomachs have led to a line of non-meat products that includes tranquilizers and cosmetics. Excursions into soapmaking to utilize fatty acids produced Dial soap, got Armour so interested in the grocery end that...
