...Gnat & Sure Shot. In the past few months, two of the worst bandit leaders-el Mosco, the Gnat, and el Sultan-have been killed. Between them, they accounted for 500 murders. Most of the bandits are ordinary killers, but Communist and Castroite agents are busy in the backlands. Last week Pedro Marin Marulanda, a well-known Red who calls himself "Sure Shot," destroyed an army helicopter, murdered its two crewmen and kidnaped the passengers. Bandit Frederico Arango, who was killed last year, had a five-foot bookshelf of Communist bestsellers, including Che Guevara's Guerrilla Warfare. Pedro Brincos, also...

...best in one of the few comic sections of Jennie, Miss Martin finally takes the stage alone to play a sultan's wife in a vaudeville routine. Cavorting around the stage in a manner slightly reminiscent of Nellie's "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair" from South Pacific, she elaborates on the hardships of being one of the sultan's many wives, singing one of the scores's best songs, "Lonely Nights." She complains that "The Sultan is my master and I wish he would make his rounds faster" and "I yearn...
