...pistols hidden in the girl's brassière. Playing a Jane Bond out to earn her diploma in legal killing from the Central World Government circa 2000 A.D., Ursula straps on the sexshooter and goes hunting for Marcello Mastroianni, 40, in a homicidal fantasy called The Tenth Victim, now being filmed in Rome. Studio technicians ad mit they're still trying to figure out how she's supposed to fire a double-barreled bra. Other ordnance for the film: a boomerang Beretta, a "poodle pistol," and possibly a "tummy...
Doctors used to think that only half a dozen narcotics, such as heroin and morphine, could cause a true addiction: the victim could give up the drug without suffering the agonies of withdrawal. They have since discovered that there are lots of non-narcotic drugs that can lead to addiction and similar withdrawal sickness as well. Long-term use of barbiturates will do it. So will the so-called "minor tranquilizers" like meprobamate (Miltown or Equanil) and chlordiazepoxide (Librium), and the stimulant amphetamines ("bennies" or "goofballs"). Last week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Medical Director Joseph Sadusk...
...further glamorize a morbid theme, Director William Wyler daubs it somewhat irrelevantly in full color. Yet his sure professionalism makes every important scene insidiously effective.

Wyler coolly, almost perversely, manipulates audience sympathy when Clegg tries to fob off an unexpected visitor while water seeps down from an upstairs bathroom where Miranda, lashed and gagged, has made the tub overflow. Later, she attacks her jailer with a shovel one dismal English...
...corrected? The biggest problem, all observers agree, is leadership. Few field-grade officers are selected for know-how and courage; too many are chosen on the basis of family or political connections. Even officers with physical courage (and there are many) live under the fear that they will fall victim to the constant search for scapegoats by their superiors. Best way to avoid this: stay away from the fortunes-and misfortunes-of battle...
First to be rehabilitated was Joe Stalin himself, whom Nikita had savagely pulled down in the official myth from demigod to scapegoat-devil. Two months ago, Kremlin spokesmen raised Moscow eyebrows by giving Stalin his due for helping Russia stem the Nazi tide. Next victim to be reprieved from obscurity was Marshal Georgy Zhukov, who showed up, replete with honors and ribbons, for last month's V-E-day celebrations in Red Square. Finally, after a decade in the doghouse, the wartime chief and "father" of the Soviet navy, Admiral Nikolai G. Kuznetsov, surfaced with the publication of excerpts...
