...after Nasser's speech, Damascus' Communist newspaper Al Noor went out of business. Syrian Communist Boss Khaled Bakdash, the leading Communist in the Arab world, went underground.

...brittle as a glass swizzle stick. Moved to the big, turbulent Broadway stage, it usually breaks. But two expert swizzlers have managed the transfer: Betty Comden and Adolph Green. They started in the '30s, in Manhattan's satirical cellar nightclubs, but eventually the two brightest kids underground emerged above ground as two of the sharpest adults writing musicomedy (book and lyrics for Two on the Aisle, On the Town, Billion Dollar Baby).

...ignorant settler who had been handed over as a slave to a matriarchal Indian squaw. In The Annie MacGregor Story, a migrating Scottish clan drove off marauding Indians with their skirling pipes. In The Liam Fitzmorgan Story, a group of Celtic types learned about the vengeance of the Irish underground. By the time Bond got his charges to Sacramento, returned to St. Joe via sailboat around the Horn and started West once more to meet the samurai, his train had climbed steadily in the ratings. Last week it was rolling toward the top of both Trendex and Nielsen...
