West has used a number of fictional devices to make vivid this confrontation of Christendom and Communism. The horror of nuclear war and atomic fallout is made a live issue by the birth of monster babies in Rome. They have been deformed by the merciful work of a doctor who gave their mothers a new soothing drug-something like thalidomide-and. with equal mercy, kills their offspring. The critical point between science and morals thus gives narrative weight to the Pope's concern over atomic...
Three-Headed Monster. Bankrolled by the Soviet embassy in Mexico City, the Russian Institute offers free Russian lessons, lectures, movies and a well-stocked Spanish-language library, where citizens can read magazines describing the U.S. as a "three-headed monster that thinks on Wall Street, roars in the Pentagon and brays in the White House." The state's biggest and noisiest newspaper, La Voz de Michoacán, shrills away in Cardenas' best gringo-baiting style.

A 35 foot long machine with a giant sword cuts the coal, and another monster resembling a dinosaur, the joy loader, scoops it up and transfers it to a cart. Conveyer belts carry the coal to the tipple for processing. Three strong men in an unmechanized mine can load a ton and a half in 15 minutes; one man with a joy loader handles...
...proudest marque in auto racing is the rearing black stallion insignia on the hood of an Italian Ferrari. "Racing amuses me," says Enzo Ferrari, 65, a brooding, irascible genius whose rivals call him "the Monster of Maranello." At his plant near Modena, he turns out some 750 marvelously hand-crafted sports cars each year, the cheapest of which sells for $8,800. And when he puts them on the track, the customers are properly impressed. Last year, a Ferrari won the twelve-hour Grand Prix of Endurance at Sebring, Fla. A Ferrari won Sicily's Targa Florio. A Ferrari...
