...capital of the medieval Christian kingdom of Nobatia in the cliffbound reaches of the Nile above the First Cataract. Nobatia flourished between the 7th and the 14th centuries in what the Egyptians once called Nubia, but it ultimately fell before Arab invaders. Arab documents referred to Pachoras, but no trace of it remained. The question took on a new urgency with the impending construction of the Aswan Dam, which threatened to submerge the area...
Autopsy Delayed. "We intend to trace the movements of Senator Kennedy and all the others at the party both before and after the accident," said Dinis. He wants to explore not only the immediate questions surrounding the fatal accident but also the larger discrepancies in Kennedy's public accounting of that night. The district attorney will call the ferrymen who carried Kennedy and his friends back and forth from Edgartown to Chappaquid dick, the owner of the Shiretown Inn, where the Senator was staying, and the local manager of the New England Telephone Co., whose records may disclose what...
...about it (The Brotherhood), and readers have put it on the top of the bestseller list (Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather and Peter Maas's The Valachi Papers).

Said Dick Advey, director of Action Age Inc.: "Americans are so performance-conscious that it would...
...large and noteworthy cast, only Bogarde and Philippe Noiret (as a diplomatic attache) manage to survive the confusion with any dignity at all. Worse, there is absolutely no trace of Alexandria itself, that city Durrell called "the wine press of love." Fox dispatched a second-string camera crew for a brisk six weeks' worth of location filming, but Cukor shot most of the picture at home in California-on a set that conjured up visions of Sidney Greenstreet-Peter Lorre North African thrillers. The ersatz locale is painfully obvious. "Justine," wrote Cyril Connolly, "is the spirit of Alexandria, sensual...
