Mirage opens with a skyline view of Manhattan at dusk, and Director Edward Dmytryk quickly and Hitchcockily establishes the city's menacing mood. One glittering spire of steel and glass, suddenly goes dark. Inside the building, corridors teem with silhouetted confusion- elevators stall, office parties begin, and the leader of a world-famous peace foundation plummets 27 floors to his death. Hero Gregory Peck, looking vaguely troubled, chooses to walk down. En route he meets an enigmatic beauty (Diane Baker) who seems to know him intimately, though he has never seen her before...
...velocity rifle bullet smacked through his picture window. But at Hunter's Haven, 30 miles from Knoxville, Tenn., nimrods can turn a day away from the office into a full-fledged safari. The Haven's 3,500 unfenced acres border on Great Smoky Mountains National Park and teem with native game: wild turkeys, bobcats, deer, black bears, ferocious Russian boars that can rip a man open with one slash of their 6-in. tusks. And that is not all: Owner "Wolfie" Wolfenbarger, a retired Knoxville restaurateur, has stocked the Haven with big-horned aoudad (wild sheep) from North...

The upheaval fired the imaginations of labor leaders in Leopoldville, whose slums teem with thousands of jobless.

For, though James lacked the light-shattering ingenuity of Newton and the monumental style of Kant, his gifts were nonetheless striking. His writings abound in magnificent arrays of quotable passages. His works teem with provocative insights--too many, perhaps, ever to be fully systematized. But, most of all, James radiates moral greatness. His openness of mind and eagerness to defend underdogs, his freedom from vanity and from paltry ambitions, all betoken what his father would have called "largeness of soul...
Dial 219-61. The Grand Duchy today is a sort of constitutional Camelot. It boasts 130 castles (but no university), pristine forests where wild boar are still hunted, crystalline rivers that teem with crayfish, trout and, of course, water nymphs. The Luxembourgeois, who are walking advertisements for their cuisine (famed specialties: thrush pie and partridge canape), brag that it is "French in quality, German in quantity." In other respects as well, they claim to have Europe's highest living standards. There is neither unemployment nor slums; illiteracy was banished in 1847, and the duchy's booming steel industry...
