...from aspirin in being a prescription item, but resembles it in being free of patent, royalty and basic-research costs. Yet here again there is a huge price spread: E. R. Squibb & Sons charges the druggist $6.62 for 100 tablets of 200,000 units, while Pennex Products Co. of Verona, Pa., sells the same number, same strength, for 920. And Pennex must meet not only U.S.P. standards, but the running check on all antibiotic batches maintained by two different Government agencies...
...French tapestries, hand-carved ceilings, and a commode from the palace of Frederick the Great. Evening concerts are held in a 1,500-seat outdoor theater, a short walk away from the main house through a medieval gate from the palace of the Cappellettis (Shakespeare's Capulets) in Verona.

They manage to subdue their Nazi guards (negligible opposition), don Nazi uniforms (good fit), and bluff or blast their way through Florence, Verona, Milan, and a burning fuel depot into Switzerland. A train pursued by troops and planes across enemy terrain can be counted on to boil over with excitement from time to time, and one battle scene filmed at dizzying altitudes in the Italian Alps brings the action to a peak...
...fold the middle fingers back under the thumb and jab the first and little fingers down at the ground. Such "horns" ward off evil spirits. But if the fingers point upward? Ah, the corna instantly sneers that the addressee is a cuckold. The gesture is so unbearable that in Verona recently a truck driver was fined $50 and court costs for understandably lofting the corna at a madly beeping motorist...
