...three short months the pretty, blue-eyed servant girl had found friends, a good job, and happiness under Austrian freedom. But last week 19-year-old Smilja Srca was ordered by the Austrian government to return to Yugoslavia. Leaving her mistress a thank-you note in a language the lady could not read, Smilja told the family children goodbye, crept out into the Alpine night and put a bullet through her head. She survived, but the bullet destroyed the optic nerve connections of both eyes, and she will never see again...
Tempest (DeLaurentiis; Paramount), billed as "an overwhelming human storm," is all too obviously just a gigantic blast of hot air. Tempest rages for more than two hours, probably cost more than $3,000,000 to produce-even though most of the big scenes were shot on the cheap in Yugoslavia. More than 3,000 Yugoslav peasants and some 4,500 cavalrymen of the Yugoslav army are employed as camera fodder.

His subjects were six atomic scientists (five men and a woman) who had been exposed to normally fatal radiation in a reactor accident at Vinca, Yugoslavia's equivalent of Oak Ridge. The patients were flown to Paris, lodged in the Hopital Curie. The mildest case, estimated to have absorbed 400 r., got better with conventional treatment-blood transfusions, special diet, rigorous protection against infection. The other five, nauseated and vomiting, soon showed a dangerous drop...
Flexible Finger. The Moho was discovered in 1909 by Seismologist A. Mohorovicic of Yugoslavia, when he noticed that the speed of earthquake waves increases suddenly at a certain level under the earth's surface (the depth varies from place to place). This suggested that the Moho marked a dividing line between different materials. Geologists believe that the Moho is the bottom edge of the granite and basalt that forms the lower layer of the earth's crust; under it is the earth's mantle consisting of a mixture of silicates and nickel-iron, which in turn encloses...
