...would much rather learn to love, and for a long time Hedges evades the issue. He sneaks off to spend the night with a "sordid woman"-he is shocked to discover that she doesn't have twin beds. He makes a pass at a cute trick who works for him-he is startled to get stabbed through the instep by her stiletto heel...
Backs to the Sea. The marines' object was to trap the enemy between the river (see map) and the sea, and they used every trick in the book to pull it off.

Going into the fourth and final heat, Miss Bar-dahl was tied with Miss Notre Dame for first place, each with...
...June the network added a third weekly show, making the schedule Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 9:30 p.m. (E.D.T.). Ever since, even the laggard in the entry was never out of the Top 15, and at one point, the whole trio was bunched into the first five. The trick is if you see one, you have to see them all-all of the series' half dozen crises are mentioned and in tensified in every episode.
