Nearby residents learned about the escape in the time-honored way: the siren began to wail. But with the phones out, Assistant Warden Clayton Davis had to send a man those six miles by car to report the escape to the sheriff in Wartburg. Capturing the wounded prisoner Ward was no problem; he was right outside the wall. Local roads were swiftly blocked off. But prison officials needed 45 minutes before they could organize a full-scale search. With six bloodhounds in the lead, a posse started after the group, which had disappeared in the direction of Frozen Head Mountain...
...most spectacular of these, when viewed personally and from below, can inspire wonderment and envy. Who could not feel underpaid when contemplating the $1.662 million that Harry J. Gray made last year as chief executive of United Technologies? In the face of such sums, ordinary Americans may ward off envy by remembering that they are also rewarded with "psychic income" (community regard, the feeling of being useful).

...monkeys - including some woolies, sakis, titis, cotton-head tamarins and marmosets, as well as the howlers - live in somewhat better style than the Lindberghs, who keep only two of the manor's ten drafty rooms heated. By contrast, their primate wards have roomy indoor cages painted pink (the monkeys' favorite color) that are equipped with real tree branches to perch on, ultraviolet lights to ward off infection, radiators, circulating water, and hammocks for naps. Their diet is lavish. Scott calls it "saturation feeding"; Alika, though promoting it, calls it gas-pillage - "sheer waste." The animals are served such...
...Udana Power, who maintains a wide-eyed innocence through more than 50 years of changing features, and to Roger Robinson, whose five parts include both the piano player from Casablanca and Viola, the archetype of all comic maids. As Viola he is transcendentally ridiculous, bustling ever back ward and sounding alarmingly like a zither that is about to lose its strings...
