...material found in the safe of Hunt, who had been employed as one of the news-leak-plugging White House "plumbers." Among the contents were a briefcase containing "loose wires, Chap Sticks with wires coming out of them, and instruction sheets for walkie-talkies." The papers included a fake State Department cable linking the Kennedy Administration to the 1963 assassination of South Viet Nam's President Diem and a psychological profile of former Pentagon Papers Defendant Daniel Ellsberg. Dean considered these "political dynamite." He asked Ehrlichman what to do with them...
Every able-bodied citizen on Quemoy is issued his own rifle and must visit a firing range for target practice at least once a month. Women also must serve in the militia. There are a number of dummy soldiers, too, who bravely man fake machine guns to decoy Communist spotters. Privately, though, even some government officials concede that the mountain of military hardware may not be necessary, and that unification with the mainland may be inevitable.

Buyers are adding many expensive options that can almost double the price of a $2,200 subcompact.

Connery's confession to his wife (Vivien Merchant) of his long struggle to save his sanity, and her recognition of unconscious complicity with the forces that are driving him crazy, is a gripping scene, full of what might be termed home truth. Trevor Howard, as a fellow officer investigating Connery, plays an almost equally strong scene as he tries to get Connery...
...master of Now Grand Guignol, Alice finally came to the climax of the evening: an execution. After slaughtering a dozen or so mannequins and being overcome in a fake fistfight Alice stepped forward to pay for his crimes. Out rolled a guillotine, and Alice's ugly little head was ceremoniously placed to the block. The snare drum rolled, the audience hushed, down came the blade and Alice's head seemed to drop away...
