...assassinate him. The actions brought stern rebukes from a U.N. commission in Korea and the U.S. Embassy, and a flying visit from Eighth Army Commander Van Fleet. Said Rhee blandly: "There is no connection between politics and the arrest of the Assemblymen . . . The arrests will continue." Vice President Kim Sung Soo resigned in protest. The National Assembly voted 96 to 3 to lift martial law. But many Assembly members, afraid to go home, slept in the old Shinto shrine which serves as Assembly chamber. The next day Rhee's new Home Minister. tough Lee Bum Suk, sent a battalion...
Patrons of the Blue Angel nightclub, accustomed to hearing these lines sung with folk-song innocence, were wondering last week whether they ever did understand the old song. They were concentrating on Eartha Kitt, a Negro newcomer to Manhattan night life. Eartha launched into the song with a voice of husky sweetness, but before she had gone very far she was wailing out the lyrics in a first-class imitation of jungle...
Home for the Hopeless.

...bright idea collapses right at the start. In others, the comedy doesn't know how to build or where to stop. Take-offs on Truman Capote and Gian-Carlo Menotti (written by Comic Ronny Graham), though clever, have not enough magic in their madness. Even Boston Beguine, well sung by the show's topranker, Alice Ghostley, should mingle Harvard and Haiti more hilariously. The show is funniest where the spoofing is broadest: Paul Lynde as a battered African explorer turned lecturer; and "After Canasta-What?" daffily prophesying a card game requiring adding machines and traffic lights...
