Down through the years, as the zing of arrows gave way to the boom of the bomb, the people who live on the roof of the world never complained about all the noise down below. All they asked was to be left alone. Except for the occasional call by Lowell Thomas or somebody looking for the Abominable Snowman, they got their wish. Down below, Hannibal and Hitler, Socrates and Sinatra flashed by; high in the Himalayas, ignorant and innocent of it all, the people went right on hunting snow leopards, dodging devils and waiting for the reincarnation of their uncles...
...Indian who was on his way to visit the boy. Disgusted with the white man's ways, MacArthur returns to the tepee and joins his mates on the warpath. But at the last minute, will his white corpuscles subdue his red? As sure as arrows whiz and bullets zing...
Adding some of the zing to the stones that bounced off U.S. Vice President Nixon's limousine in Caracas a fortnight ago was Venezuelan anger at the U.S. for sheltering ousted Dictator Marcos Perez Jimenez and his tough Security Police boss, Pedro Estrada.

At quieter moments, he laid his cheek against the neck of the cello as if it were a pillow. Shafran's tone was big and creamy, his cantilena as expressive as if words were...
...that Katharine Hepburn brought to the 1939 play and the 1941 movie. Crosby seems as comfortable in the role of a singing millionaire as only a singing millionaire (which he is in real life) can be. but saunters through the part rather sleepily, without much of the old Bing zing. Sinatra plays the reporter like a dead-end kid with a typewriter. The two of them come off best together in a song-and-dance number, Well, Did You Evah?, in which Bing boo-boo-boos as Sinatra cock-a-doodle-doos...
