...binding is not a book, and the book has been lost in transit. The "I" of Isherwood's Berlin camera was the author himself, intelligent, sentient, an amused and ironic observer of a society in vortex. The "I" (Bert Convy) of Cabaret is a gaping boy tourist with a typewriter. In the Isherwood-Van Druten versions, Sally Bowles focused the disorder around her in personal disorientation, sex-sipped sorrow, pleasure-bent pain. The part is beyond the technique and temperament of Jill Haworth. Sally is a mixture of waif and wanton, gin and gallantry; Actress Haworth...
This hypothesis was originated by a commission assistant counsel, Aden Specter, now district attorney of Philadelphia, after Warren investigators became puzzled over the timing of Oswald's shots. After a frame-by-frame analysis of a movie, film taken by a tourist named Abraham Zapruder, commissioners decided that 1.8 seconds-at most-had elapsed between Kennedy's first visible response to being hit in the neck and John Connally's first measurable reaction to a bullet striking him. The early assumption had been that the two were hit by separate shots. But since Oswald's bolt...
Westerners three years ago, 3,000,000 tourists have swept through-most of them to bask in the sun on once-deserted Black Sea beaches, others to visit Sofia's antiquity-rich hinterland dotted with Thracian, Macedonian and Roman ruins.

...that a bullet hit the back of Kennedy's neck and emerged through his lower throat before it struck Texas Governor John Connally in the back, smashed across a rib, shattered his right wrist, and punctured his left thigh. Commission members accepted this explanation after they saw a tourist's film of the assassination, which indicated that the interval between Kennedy's reaction to being hit and Connally's first visible reaction to his wounds was-at the most-1.8 sec. Because of the time it took to operate the bolt action on his rifle, Oswald...
...date, but you'll have no trouble. You'll fly out over Gaul and drop your bombs just north of the Holy Roman Empire -but don't fly too far or you'll fall off. When you're shot down, pretend to be a tourist. We have provided you with a manual containing such typical German phrases as 'Get out of my way before I kick you in the groin...
