...create an illusion of progress, Kaunda recently nationalized 24 companies owned by foreigners and cut to 50% the amount of profit a company can take out of the country. Most of the nationalized companies were retail outlets, breweries or other small businesses that he eventually plans, in the second stage of his "revolution," to turn over to cooperative management by blacks. Big foreign producers, such as the British-American copper companies, were not among those nationalized...
...technological man, master of the atom and soon the moon, is so aware of his strength that he is unaware of his weakness-the fact that his pressure on nature may provoke revenge. Although sensational cries of impending doom have overstated the case, modern man has reached the stage where he must recognize that real dangers exist.

...hands than the rest of the presidential contenders. A buck-toothed Bobby, playing Pied Piper, is not so much leading as being rushed by a frenzied bunch of women tearing at his clothes.

On the other hand, in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, it enhances a scene of lyric sensuousness in which a girl models...
...play would be without the sculptured monumentality of John Colicos' performance as Churchill. Though the part is essentially a great caricature of Churchill, Colicos turns the role into a realm. He achieves one of those memorable personifications where the actor imperceptibly fuses artifice and reality. He dominates the stage with feral tenacity, and there is an uncannily mnemonic effect in his feat of physical resemblance. The pudgy hands thrust the walking stick forward like an advance scout probing enemy territory; the pouty lips nurse the huge cigar; the gruff, lisping voice rasps out even cadences like waves beating...
