...election the '67 coup aimed to avert--heads the party of the Center Union-New Political Forces. The junta exiled him repeatedly on account of his antagonistic public statements, and he joined Caramanlis as vice-premier and minister of external affairs when the regime fell. He counts a youngish (late forties to early fifties) group of progressive middle-class Greeks among his followers--most of whom actively resisted the dictatorship and suffered persecution, exile, jail, and torture. These people comprise, specifically, the NPF sector of the party, and a significant number of university professors and internationally known economists scatter...
Monkey Business, an old Howard Hawks comedy about a scientist who invents a youth potion, moves into the Welles on Sunday. This delightful bit of oldfashioned comedy stars Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers and a youngish Marilyn Monroe. It's being shown with Lifeboat, an Alfred Hitchcock suspense story that's not really up to Hitchcock's standard of excellence. Both movies are inordinately superior to the stuff that comes out of Hollywood nowadays. The double-bill goes...
HOWARD PHILLIPS LOVECRAFT 20 August 1890-17 February 1937 Since I was born after Lovecraft died, I knew of him only through seeing his books' lurid covers on paperback stands in airports and bus waiting rooms.

A youngish (38), G.O.P. moderate who has been notably liberal on racial matters, Holshouser also had some campaign assets of his own, among them a record as a can-do state legislator and an endorsement from the Charlotte Ob- server. But he was outspent 2-to-1 by Democrat Hargrove ("Skipper") Bowles Jr., 52, an ebullient millionaire businessman who lavished $1.3 million on a slick statewide media...
...mainly Hanley recalls a world on the wane with the grace and occasional wisdom of a man who has lived fully enough to have few regrets. At 56, he is a youngish old Africa hand. He left his native Ireland when he was 18 for life on a Kenya farm. As an officer in the British army during World War II, he helped round up Mussolini's homesick legions in northeast Africa. A more difficult job was keeping the Somali nomads from each other's throats...
