...held without bail pending trial if there is probable cause to believe them guilty. But in Florida, murder defendants must be released on bail, unless the evidence against them is so "nearly conclusive" that conviction is virtually assured. At a habeas corpus hearing, the prosecution produced a stewardess who identified Mel as having been a passenger on the plane from Houston, and an ex-convict who said the pair had offered him $10,000 to murder Mossier. But to Circuit Court Judge Harvie DuVal, the case was not yet airtight: "The testimony I have heard and read does not meet...
Mastroianni's crisis begins with an Indonesian airline stewardess (Seyna Seyn). Lured to a hotel rendezvous between planes, the sylph announces at intervals that time is flying, finally swallows a tiny pill and phones downstairs to ask that the desk call back in exactly 38 minutes. Her cool acquiescence chills Mastroianni, and ultimately sends him to a sick psychiatrist whose advice is to love dangerously or not at all. Mastroianni's subsequent Misses and near-Misses include a lady lion tamer (Liana Orfei) who mixes her work with pleasure, an accursed village prostitute (Liana's cousin, Moira...

Israel's Prime Minister Levi Eshkol and most of his Cabinet are card-carrying, dues-paying members. All are enrolled in an extraordinary organization called the Histadrut, Israel's huge and powerful 900,000-member labor federation...
...such a pilgrimage could not be. The Vatican, the Indian government, the relentless exigencies of the press, and even Air India foiled the Pope. The airline closed off part of the first-class compartment, provided a raven-haired stewardess in a striped silk sari, and painted the papal coat of arms on the plane. The Indians, as might have been foreseen, discouraged any extensive visits to the poor as an uncalled-for stress on the country's poverty. The Vatican sent along cardinals and priests and supplied tapes of Handel and Vivaldi to be played on the plane. Photographers...
