...look at the fellow under the bed and let fly with a series of swift kicks where it counts. Out rolled Anthony Quinn, dodging the barrage. Unrelenting, Anna Magnani followed with a smart boot in the rear, then dumped a strainer of noodles on his head after she had sunk her teeth into his neck. When Quinn complained about that toothy bit not being in the script of the film they were making, The Secret of Santa Vittoria, Magnani silenced him with some logic of her own. "Never mind-I'm supposed to win this fight, remember?" When...

...hammered out final details of the scheme in Basel, the signs of a monetary storm were all too evident. Buffeted by the Czech crisis and persistent clamor for an upward revaluation of the strong West German deutschmark (a move that was drawing money out of London), the pound had sunk to within a whisker of its post-devaluation low of $2.38¼ in foreign exchange centers.

...proclaimed, were semi-spiritual "shadows of the shadow of God." The third was a race of fourarmed men who inhabited a lost continent named Lemuria and were doomed 60 million years ago when they discovered sex. The fourth, recognizably human, went down with Atlantis 12,000 years ago, sunk by sex plus power. Our own race, which got off to a bad start with Adam, is the fifth, and it too may be about to expire-or perhaps find strange new powers.

...visual sightings of helicopters were made, and reconnaissance planes found no wreckage. But at about the same time as the U.S. response, several strange things happened. A U.S. Navy patrol boat was sunk off the DMZ by unidentified fire, the nearby Australian destroyer H.M.S. Hobart was holed in at least 200 places by what turned out to be three U.S. air-to-air Sparrow missiles, and three other vessels, including the cruiser U.S.S. Boston, reported that they had been fired...
