...Goldie Hawn, 22, a former chorus girl from Tacoma Park, Md., is the resident dumdum who takes all the verbal pratfalls. In the thick of quick exchanges, she will giggle, shake her haystack pile of blonde hair and say in a little meowing voice: "I forgot the question." At first, her fluffs were a case of misreading the cue cards. Now they are part of the act, as when she bites her lip and chirps: "I don't like Viet Cong because in the movie he nearly wrecked the Empire State Building...
...comes into their heads. Recalls Sammy Davis: "I was looking forward to appearing on the show. Joey Bishop was going to be on, too. But when we went into rehearsal, I was handed the fattest script I have ever seen in my entire life. It was about four inches thick, and I said, 'I didn't come here to do Gone With The Wind.' They said, 'Don't worry, do what you like. You can ad lib and come back to the script whenever you like'-and I did." So did Bishop...
...arrived in Alabama, however, I was surprised. It looked just like the real world. Montgomery and Birmingham could have been in any other state; and even the legendary Selma looked like any Midwest commercial town.

Looking through the grimy window, he saw a row of thick-bodied workers, laughing with the surly waitress. On the window, forming a kind of frame for the people, were Wallace and More Power for Police stickers. All in all, it made a perfect picture. So Ted took it, and stepped off quickly...
...flee north in the path of the advance and now were gathering, some 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 strong, in the roughly 60-mi. by 40-mi. oblong noose into which Biafra has shrunk. The roads are heavily mined, often forcing federal soldiers to take to the thick roadside bush. There they use their submachine guns as deadly scythes, pouring thousands of rounds into the thickets and the few roadside huts they come upon. As in any war, some civilians are hit, but there has been little genocide in the ground advance, if only because almost no civilians...
