Sondheim's lyrics are also as inventive as ever, continuing in the same cynical-witty vein that marked his great, neglected score for Anyone Can Whistle. One song, telling about "The Little Things You Do Together" that make a marriage work, lists "The neighbors you annoy together / The children you destroy together" as examples. Another song, in which husbands explain the role their wives played in shaping their lives, has such couplets as "It has nothing to do with her / all to do with her." There is also a fantastic number in which a female trio does a song (half...
Beyond economics, there is the question of the sonic boom, which can vary in decibel level from a shot to a 50-mile wide swath of thunderous sound, and would annoy groundlings, to say the least. Transportation Secretary Volpe last week promised that the SST will fly supersonically only over water, at least until the sonic boom is brought within "acceptable limits."

If Biafra wins, they may get a good deal on the oil. Should...
...also minister of education for the Black Panthers. All 800 blacks at S.F. State are counted as members by the B.S.U., whether the students concerned agree or not. And the disruptive B.S.U. tactics, designed to force the administration to build up minority enrollment and black studies programs, annoy many of the 16,300 white students, who want only to complete their education...
