...stories are understandably something of a letdown. The Fabulous Five, Doc's "companions in adventure and excitement," are said to be "the five greatest brains ever assembled in one group," but they talk ("Holy Cow! That's plumb ding-y!") like the Beaver Patrol on an overnight hike. Dent's villains are far zingier. They have names like Ull, Ark, Var, Zoro, Rama Tura, "The Sinister Count Ramadanoff" and "The Horrible Humpback"-whose hump, by the way, is packed with nefarious electronic gear. One of his nastiest creations is an Eskimo known as Heck Noe (humor...

Despite widespread support, he is now faced with an attack from the state's schoolteachers, who have demanded a $1,500 pay hike. Although seriously concerned with South Carolina's educational problems, he has promised taxpayers that they will not shoulder an additional burden because, as he puts it, "so many of the working are taking home less than they did a year...
There is no doubt the Japanese are increasingly unhappy with their dependency on American oil interests. Following the price hike from 23.2 to 28.5 cents per barrel on February 18 by the five major Western oil suppliers to Japan, Japan's Minister of International Trade and Industry urged the Japanese petroleum refining industry to put up all-out resistance to the price rise. At the same time, the Finance Minister stated Japan had to make epochal changes in her policy of securing natural resources for her industries...
