Iron poisoning used to be a relative rarity. Old-fashioned iron tonics went out of style in the U.S. long ago, and even when they were around, no child would take more than a swallow of the vile-tasting stuff.

Another (George Segal) keeps wandering out of the hospital in pursuit...

The news from Nicosia may have had nothing to do with it, but within hours the Greek Cypriots were hammering away with bazookas, mortars and machine guns.
