...once raved: "What a lovely face, what carnal splendor, what a future!" Since those anapaests were hatched, the lass from Tunis, Actress Claudia Cardinale, 28, has taken her splendors to Hollywood, where not long ago she finished a farce with Rock Hudson called Blindfold. Everyone's eyes were wide open in Manhattan, when Claudia arrived to flack for the picture and offer learned comments right from the bosom. "It's not the only thing any more," she demurely told Broadway Gossip Earl Wilson. "You used to look only at the bosom. Now you look at the legs...
Despite that difficulty, Moser made a devastating indictment of almost every class of new drug. The cortisone-type hormones, familiar for their wide use, particularly in rheumatic disorders, have long since been convicted of causing or exacerbating peptic ulcers, of giving users a fattened "moon" face, and growing mustaches on women. Colonel Moser emphasized two severe unpleasant side effects that may go undetected.

Another addition explains that the last twelve verses in the Gospel according to Mark, which the RSV puts in a footnote since they are not found in the oldest known manuscripts, are regarded by the Roman Catholic Church as divinely inspired...
...fact catches even an agile politician like Lyndon Johnson in a dilemma. He can act within a relatively wide range of alternatives, and be sure that the public will approve of what he does; but the same public will almost inevitably dislike the out come. Since the Stanford-Chicago poll was taken the conflicts between the Ky government and the Buddhists, plus the steadily rising number of casualties, have discredited the President's policies. In the latest nationwide poll, only 47 per cent supported Johnson's actions in Vietnam...
