ROMEO AND JULIET (Caedmon) is a strange romance in this recording. Albert Finney, who can be as forceful as TNT, has conceived a Romeo who sounds like a world-weary anti-hero out of Chekhov. Claire Bloom is girlishly gigglish; yet Shakespeare's Juliet is young only in years, and packs a woman's wiles in a woman's body. The lovers are upstaged by the nurse, Dame Edith Evans, a paragon of timing, inflection and character immersion who could teach Finney and Bloom a thing or three about Shakespearean acting...
...TNT & Rockets. All over Viet Nam the allies were on the hunt. Operation White Wing, spearheaded by the 1st Air Cav, ground to a close last week with 1,841 enemy killed in nearly five weeks of campaigning. Near the Cambodian border, the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division continued Operation Hattiesburg, which so far has captured 240 tons of rice, three base camps and eight way stations, caches of TNT and 40 3.5 rockets. The men of the Big Red One also got 189 Communists in Operation Coco Beach near Ben Cat-150 when a regimental-size force...
...Madrid and Washington, the two governments revealed that only one of the three recovered bombs had actually survived the fall intact. Some of the TNT detonators on the other two had exploded on impact and ruptured the shell casing, permitting some radioactive plutonium and uranium to scatter over 18 acres in the impact area.

Of the 2,000 "potentially exposed" people in the area, 1,800 had been examined thus far, and none had received a dangerous dose. What is more, added the board, "there...
What was the weapon? Was it what famed U.S. Physicist Ralph Lapp calls a "gigaton" bomb-a nuclear weapon packing the power of a billion tons of TNT that could be detonated 100 miles off the U.S.'s coastline and still set off a 50-ft. tidal wave that would sweep across much of the entire North American continent? Was it a cobalt bomb that would send a deadly cloud sweeping forever about the earth? A "death ray" or a germ bomb? Or even an empty boast? Two days later Nikita Khrushchev said it wasn't nuclear...
...with a gasoline truck that's been hit by a match wagon over the Grand Canyon. If he should survive, let the ambulance that's taking him to the hospital have four flat tires and run into a brick wall that's holding nuclear warheads and TNT. And if he should survive that, let him be thrown into a patch of wild dogs that's suffering from flea-itis and may he scratch himself insane. When he gets to the hospital, let the doctor be a junkie with a gorilla on his back and an orangoutang...
