Nkrumah completed the outrage when, in violation of Ghana's constitution, he sacked Sir Arku Korsah, 69, a widely respected jurist who in 1956 became Ghana's first black Chief Justice.

...heard the news when she awakened at 7:50 a.m. in Suite 843 of Beverly Hills' Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The day before, disguised in a blonde wig and slacks, she had slipped out to Doctors' Hospital for removal of a cyst.

(Incidentally, Miss Windsor will appear as a guest on Johnny Carson's Tonight show on television tomorrow night...
Irma bubbles and struts through every Technicolor foot. Shirley MacLaine is an adorable golliwog in green lingerie and inky wig; her flamboyant self-assurance is the perfect foil for the bumbling Lemmon. With a face that can twinkle like a terrier's or crumple into bloodhoundish gloom at the first unkind word, Jack makes the most (once he's fired as a cop) of being Shirley's mec-the only pimp in Paris with the principles of an eagle scout...
