...plagiarizes to please him. His weakling brother (Mel Tormé) can neither escape him nor lick him. Even a fox-sly gossip columnist fails to frame him and concedes that he must wait for revenge until "six straight men send him along the route to the great producer up yonder." The unpleasant honesty of the climax makes up for most of the play's faults: after pulling down the worlds of those around him, Sammy ends up more on top than ever...
...With the Aqua-Lung, which he invented in collaboration with an engineer named Emile Gagnan, a 46-year-old captain in the French navy, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, provided the wings on which both Sunday sportsmen and serious scientists have gone soaring with a new freedom into the wild green yonder.

In Milwaukee, police looked for William Ferguson, lecturer (at $1 a head) on the wonders of Mars, after he 1) tried to sell Policewoman Mary Smeaton a brain-relaxing helmet and other souvenirs he said he brought back from his trip to the planet in 1947; 2) told her she would return to her home planet Saturn after 14,000 more years; 3) rhapsodized about Martian food, which the body absorbs without the need for elimination, and Martian water, which can be swum in without getting...
