Tony's English is still practically nonexistent, and he is just beginning to learn his teammates' names. "Big Powder," he calls fellow Cuban Vic Power...
Wall Street learned that Simon has picked up 20% of the stock in Manhattan-based Canada Dry Corp., the biggest U.S. maker of ginger ale and soda water and the third largest maker of soft drinks (after Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola).

His cast moved briskly and well, as if every gesture had been choreographed, and his stage direction was so good that the singers (Gabriella Tucci, Judith Raskin, Regina Resnik, Anselmo Colzani) all seemed...
...Somerset Maugham has repeatedly-and plausibly-denied that he was attempting a portrait of their marriage in Cakes and Ale. Maugham's warmhearted Rosie bears no resemblance to Emma, and her aging novelist-husband only sketchily resembles Hardy...
