...More Grinding. Wheeler finally got the wounded American officer out, and though U.S. sources later described the retreat from Viet An as "a break from contact" with the Viet Cong, it was clearly a bug out. The main reason was simply that the Vietnamese soldiers had been in steady action for more than a year with hardly a break. Even with the artillery and air support that was lacking at critical moments in Viet An, troops so weary could hardly be expected to perform with skill in the grinding day-in-day-out war. The only sure cure for battle...
...Satan Bug. Panic spreads at Station 3, an imposing desert installation surrounded by barbed wire and watchdogs and spoken of in whispers as "the most secret chemical-warfare establishment in this hemisphere." The chief security officer has been murdered. Dr. Baxter is missing. Dr. Oster is a marked man. Worst of all, some crucial flasks have been pilfered from E Lab. Several contain enough botulinus toxin to wipe out the entire population of Los Angeles. One flask, warns Research Scientist Hoffman (Richard Basehart) is brimful of the "satan bug," a biological doomsday weapon that can launch death on a global...
They are worried sick, as usual. To hasten an investigation, the Pentagon taps General Dana Andrews who arrives with an anxious look and a portfolio full of top-brass clichés. His comely daughter (Anne Francis), as Bug's resident bunny, does what she can to assist former U.S. Intelligence Officer George Maharis, whose ticklish assignment is to save the world. Before Maharis can track down the crazed millionaire behind the bacilli scare, Florida has been decimated by botulinus. Maharis endures sundry perils prior to a climactic wrestling match in a helicopter high above Los Angeles...
...insects the most repellant; as I have never seen one, I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of this judgement. It creates, however, horrible problems in dealing with Don Marquis's archy. Most readers resolve these by regarding him as a type of masculine lady bug, and a director would probably gain little by probing the entomological implications of the creature's identity. But still, the interpretation of archy determines how much dramatic mileage can be gotten from archy and mehitabel...
...really in, or way way out? There sat Britain's Princess Margaret, 34, at a rehearsal of the Royal Ballet School's Prince Igor, showing quite a bit of black mesh stockings all acrawl with dozens of artificial beetles. Bug beetles, with two e's, if you please. "The Royal Family in kinky"-meaning nonconformist-"stockings at last," chirped the London Sun's Fashion Writer Jean Rook, who then swatted: "Are Margaret's new, or were they hidden away in her bottom drawer?" They cost only 6s. 11d., continued the ruthless Rook, and while they...
