...viewpoint of millions of Americans who have visited Spain in recent years and have seen for themselves the flowering of these dignified and wonderful people. Poor, proud, persevering, they are forging a good society. Would that some of our other American publications did not keep looking backward in anger...
Rusk, who usually betrays anger only by puffing faster and harder at his Larks, ran out of cigarettes but not out of patience. A Secret Service man finally located a pack in a briefcase; the Secretary lit up, and the inquisition was resumed. At 12:55 Rusk pointed to his watch, announced "an important appointment at 1 o'clock that I should meet if I can." The appointment was at the White House for another meeting on Viet Nam strategy, and the Senators obligingly...
...that did not dislodge the fine traditional productions of the classics but complemented them. The first playwright to add the magic was John Osborne, the Angry Young Man, an actor out of work and furiously out of patience with life, the theater, everything. The play was Look Back in Anger, an iconoclastic screed against the suffocating middle-class ethic and the coolly cultivated traditionalism of the Establishment. "When I saw Look Back in Anger" said an ex-pastry cook named Arnold Wesker, "I knew it could happen. I went home and wrote my first play in six weeks." The thunder...

Though his brush stroke was immaculate, his subject matter tended toward soaring echelons of well-stuffed nymphs in the buff, ruddy satyrs in postures of half prayer, half lust.

In the heyday of the Second Empire, no one admitted being titillated by his tangles of tushies and concupiscent cupids; the critics professed...
Among Europeans, such arrangements on the part of U.S. businessmen arouse anger as well as pleasure. Pleased are the affluent and usually anonymous international investors-London's Economist tartly calls them "international tax dodgers"-constantly seeking new ventures with which to multiply their new wealth. Still intensely nationalistic in financial matters, European governments discourage outsiders from entering their bond markets by imposing coupon taxes ranging up to 25% on alien bond purchases. American bonds, on the other hand, being tax-free and easily transferable, are snapped up in $10,000 and $20,000 lots by zip-lipped Swiss bankers...
