...water high in the air. Massey-Ferguson cultivators dig furrows, and Kallia's first crop of yellow corn is sprouting. One acre has been set aside for a hydroponic plot. Nutrients and chemicals from a 60,000-gal-lon fiber-glass reservoir wash long rows of coal-black tuff, a cinderlike debris of volcanic lava brought from the Golan Heights. In the tuff are melon and tomato seeds that may, thanks to the hydroponic forced feeding, yield up to ten times a normal crop. All told, the Israeli government has invested nearly $500,000 in Kallia's uncertain...

When Andy spanned the Atlantic to join the stable of New York's Hall Syndicate, his success was equally smashing. Among the charter subscribers: the Washington Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Los Angeles Times, New York Post, and Marshalltown (Iowa) Times-Republican...
...policier manner, should seriously damage the rating of such standbys as Wyatt Earp, Rawhide, Have Gun-Will Travel, and Gunsmoke. Gabin, of course, is the acknowledged king of French tommy-gun flicks. With his slightly paunchy and degenerate mien he is the very image of the slightly world-weary tuff guy, and the casual manner in which he slaps around both the guilty and the innocent is beyond compare...
