...means twins, however. In the stage chiller, when Fernand Ravinel's wife refuses to dissolve their unhappy marriage through divorce, his doctor-mistress Monique suggests dissolving it through murder. As the efficient Monique drowns the wife in a bathtub and then makes her appear to drown in a stream-a Lady Macbeth superintending an Ophelia's fale -a scared Fernand quivers like jelly and wobbles like a tenpin.

Motorola, G.E., Admiral, RCA, Zenith are redesigning their radios and TV sets, using more transistors...
...clear last week in a speech to the 68-nation World Bank and International Monetary Fund. "In all our lands," said the President, "there is a surging confidence that steady economic growth can be a reality-that the good things of life can be made available in a growing stream to all our peoples."
