The WEEK

President Aden Abdullah Osman of Somalia, you’ll be relieved to hear, has announced that his government, after due consideration, has decided to refrain from nuclear testing in the atmosphere in accordance with the Soviet-American test-ban treaty.

Plans are under way to blow up the world this fall, but it’s all good clean fun. A Hollywood movie is to be made from the anti-war tract, Level 7, a horror story-about men living underground in missile bases going mad. The screenplay was written by Millard Lampell, says the New York Times, which lists his other achievements, including Saturday’s Hero and Chance Meeting. The Times does not mention that Lampell was identified under oath by two witnesses before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1953 as a Communist, or that he took the Fifth in 1952 before the Internal Security Subcommittee.
