Secrets of Women (Svensk Filmindus-tri; Janus) is Swedish Director Ingmar Bergman's belatedly exported first comedy, filmed in 1952. during a period of relative lightheartedness-Death enters the film momentarily, but he goes away. Four dissatisfied wives, to put the matter redundantly, are having coffee in a summerhouse. While they wait for their husbands to arrive for the weekend, each tells of the moment when she became resigned to the clod she married. In the brilliant, imperfect episodes that follow, Bergman illustrates the Chesterfieldian proposition that he went on to prove later in Smiles of a Summer Night...

But with the whole Udall clan pitching in for Mo, Matheson was beginning to feel the pinch. "I feel like I'm running against a relay team," he said. "No sooner do I get through with one Udall than he hands the baton to a brother...
...ancient pseudo-science of chiromancy. Doctors Alfred R. Hale, John H. Phillips and George E. Burch examined the palm prints of 287 patients, half of whom had congenital heart defects and the other half heart disease acquired later in life. They knew that myriads of tiny creases called axial tri-radii are formed in the palm during the first four or five months of fetal development and, like fingerprints, remain unchanged for life. (These intricate patterns bear no relationship to the impermanent palm lines gypsies call heart, head and life lines.) What the doctors suspected was that disturbances that cause...
They were right. In the A.M.A. Journal, the research trio reported that the tri-radial crosshatches of congenital heart cases were etched nearer the center of their palms twice as often as those who had developed heart disease later. The pattern also tended to be more disorganized in the hands of congenital heart patients-a possible result of the same mysterious mechanisms that cause abnormalities to develop in the fetus...
Corrigan got a Lao-language daily newspaper started on a Mimeograph machine, built the King a radio station (advancing part of the money for equipment himself), was trying to get a library going. When the fighting started, Corrigan was in the air more than ever, flying leaflet-dropping missions over enemy lines as well as his movie runs. He distrusted the rickety planes he had to ride, once pointed to a battered single-engined Piper Tri-Pacer and advised a newsman: "I wouldn't fly in that for a million dollars." But when Cor igan got ready to deliver...
