Fake Bonds & Palm Readers. Led by U.S. Information Chief Barry ("Zorro") Zorthian, 45, the 450 men of JUSPAO this year will spend $10 million on new tricks and techniques-three times as much money as was spent on psywar a year ago. The mark of Zorro was evident last week in the village of Phung Hiep, a district capital in the Mekong Delta where a South Vietnamese "rural spirit" drama troupe was busy maligning Red China and Ho Chi Minh. In between propaganda skits, the troupe sang classical Vietnamese ballads, and played boogie-woogie...

(It must have been sheer torture for the boys to keep from calling it The Space Family Robinson.) Guy Williams, in silver suit minus his Zorro cloak, heads the mislaid clan.

First: the team to watch, and this is only half kidding, is Minnosota. And their big man is going to be a 20 year-old rookie shortstop named Zorro Versalles. What could he neater?

Rigoletto & Lady Zorro. Along Blackpool's strand last week, 14 vaudeville and burlesque houses were offering everything from rock 'n' roll to arias from Rigoletto, and a "direct from America" girly show featuring a black-masked nude known as Lady Zorro. There was a puppet show, an acrobatic act, a North American dog act, and a show called Don't Stop, You're Killing Me, a revue thinly disguised as melodrama, which incorporated a squad of "police" who, more or less as if sent by Luigi Pirandello, entered the theater telling everyone in the audience...
...find some films to project, handsome Use hurried to Munich, batted her eyes at the first U.S. Army film officer she found, soon had her hands on a steady supply of prewar German productions. Two years later, Use borrowed 50,000 marks from a bank, bought 30 installments of Zorro serials from the U.S.'s Republic Pictures, and pieced together two full-length features. She made a million marks from her investment and used her profits to start Gloria Films in a Munich basement...
