...whiff away peddlers hawked scented sachets and the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The New York Botanical Garden's 500-ft. tropical rain garden, adorned with a climbing cissus vine and rock pool, was back to back with Woolworth's counter, where salesgirls touted 880 packages of Venus Fly Trap, billed as "Nature's Magic Toy," which "Catches insects! Eats hamburger!" At the huge Kodak garden there were nervous flamingos and the Kodak "Smile Girl," who gradually wilted as she tried to keep her cheeks puffed and her lips curled upwards for half an hour at a time. Still, hundreds...
...show that they weren't just repeating cliches, some of the students admitted that although drugs allow the mind to escape its habitual cage of civilization, they trap it immediately into a new set of thinking patterns and customs; a new social order with its own stylized mores. These traditions usually grow around a small group of friends who are in the habit of smoking together.

In Face, Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) seduces Thrush Agent Senta Berger somewhat more explicitly than he could before, when he had to take time out for commercials. In Trap, Luciana Paluzzi adds sex appeal until gunfire spoils her game, but the story really concerns an ordinary housewife (Patricia Crowley) who helps Solo foil...
...essence of all that was evil in Junkerdom. Tall and taciturn, a monocle screwed tight in one chilly pale eye, his boots gleaming with metronomic precision as he paced the stone floor of his cell, the prisoner never complained and never begged for mercy. When the gallows trap was sprung on Oct. 16, 1946, and Wilhelm Bodewin Johann Gustav Keitel dropped to his death, it is doubtful that he had any regrets. Keitel had long before reached the end of his rope...
