Have you ever The other day, wondered what makes them temperamental, or angry? while discussing Clark Gable, I learned of an incident which made him furious. A woman journalist came on the set of "Soldier of Fortune" to interview him, said she wanted him to kiss her!
Why? "Oh, it will give me a good story," she blandly explained. Alterna- tively, in case Mr Gable was shy about it, she was quite prepared to kiss him. No interview.

Yes, Cricket Is The
Slowest
Game
By CHAPMAN PINCHER
The slur that cricket is the world's slowest sport has been strengthened by a British scientist who has measured the energy expended in batting, bowling, and fielding, for the first time.
