Older and wiser now, Blackstone has replaced four-footed animals with blondes and brunettes who obligingly allow him to stab and dismember them, or occasionally to lock them in coflins. The most eager of his helpers lies on a table where, in full view, a buzz saw runs through her midsection. After smiling at the two segments, he covers the gap with a cloth, and then smiles as the girl walks off the stage in one piece. His other tricks include dancing handkerchiefs, floating lightbulbs, and the appearance of an assistant in a glass box built on stage...
Moscow denounced the pact as "a stab in the back" for the Arab League countries. The U.S., which had carefully taken no hand in the negotiations, was pleased. The pact strengthens the Middle East's "northern tier" (the defense line from Turkey to Pakistan). Pakistan, hitherto isolated on the northern tier's right wing, exulted.

He and his colleagues advise against immediate operation under emergency conditions. Doctors should first try to resuscitate the patient by draining blood from the heart sac and giving transfusions to counteract shock. Only if this is not quickly effective should they open the chest to stitch up the heart, for it is in this drastic operation, which often...
Rogue Cop (M.G.M) is another Hollywood stab at realism in the manner of TV's Dragnet. Robert Taylor is a veteran city detective in the hire of a pair of grafty little Caesars (George Raft and Robert Simon). When Taylor's kid brother (Steve Forrest), an honest rookie cop, identifies a smalltime toughie who can betray Raft and Simon, Sergeant Taylor tries in vain to get the deal squared. Inevitably, the honest brother is bumped off, and the bad brother sees the light. With Janet Leigh's assistance, Taylor hunts down and rubs out the killers...
