...plastic bomb, developed during World War II, has become the trademark of the S.A.O. It is a puttylike substance made by mixing two explosives, Hexogen (known as R.D.X. in the U.S.) and TNT, into a rubber compound base, and can be exploded either electrically or by fuse. Terrorists prefer the plastic bomb for two reasons: it is so stable that it can be cut into strips and easily transported; at the site marked for the blast, it is adhesive enough to stick to almost any surface ? under a window ledge, on a mailbox, or around a fence or lamppost...
...almost incredible in its depth. George C. Scott was superb as the police lieutenant who destroys his victim with cold intelligence and sympathetic understanding rather than simple brutality. As the slatternly mother of the priest's child, Julie Harris avoided the stylized ingenuousness that has almost become her trademark. Roddy McDowall was the subtle Judas in peon's tags who follows the priest through his furtive journeys and ultimately betrays him. There were other stars-Mildred Dunnock. Keenan Wynn, Thomas Gomez, Martin Gabel, Fritz Weaver, Patty Duke -for even the lesser supporting roles...
Died. Leonard ("Chico") Marx, 70, sly-smiling comedian whose fake Italian accent, trademark costume of velvet jacket and pointed hat, and pistol-finger piano playing backed his four younger brothers in their own brand of joyously irreverent comedy; of a heart attack; in Hollywood.

Line Spies. Cardin shortens his suit jackets and flares his skirts, even forsakes his trademark swing coats for a slimmer, fitted model. Grės, who has done more through the years for draped gowns than anyone since Phidias, keeps the soft shoulder line and low-set sleeve but lets the waistline wander obliquely from a high empire front to a low back, includes six "intimacy dresses" (lounging costumes with harem pants). Jean Patou puts skirt upon skirt, gathers them all together at what is decidedly a natural waistline...
Nothing from Grandfather. The first move is Chinn Ho's trademark. He has made the foundation of his empire, Honolulu's $25 million Capital Investment Co., Ltd., so flexible that it can quickly and easily be tailored to attract the risk capital required for specific situations. Stretching out from Capital are ten subsidiaries with tentacles reaching out all across the Pacific; some subsidiaries have subsidiaries; one sub-subsidiary in turn controls three other corporations. Through Capital, Ho controls the whole complex. "We can arrive at very fast decisions," he says. "That's the essence of our operation...
