...smashing was Roland V. Libonati, 62, a pudgy little machine Democrat from Chicago. Elected to the House in 1957, "Lib" Libonati has been known only for his devotion to the bidding of Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley and as a master of the malapropism-he once welcomed autumn as the time when "the moss is on the pumpkin." Gingerly handling the prickly political pear that the civil rights bill had become, Manny Celler needed someone to make the necessary Judiciary Committee motions to delete the toughest sections of the subcommittee package. He picked Libonati, partly because...
...their silver breast-plates, and the stones / They laid her on, and the sleeves of her dress--" the saffron dress with the golden border. Then the black and white men of court return and Aegon thinks of "Lesbos when the beach turned gray" and "the gray stallion of the autumn." And finally Clytemnestra returns--with neither her husband nor his mistress, but with the blood of both. She flings her cloak open: it shines blood scarlet.

Cummings poem have musical counterparts-an aspirate gasp, for example, indicating an exclamation point. Warsaw was delighted...
...movie script is being published this autumn, however, which ignores the close-shot, long-shot lingo of the camera's eye, implicitly mistrusts the camera's capacity to discern, and with a natural if unnecessary eloquence offers its own scene-setting visions of South Pacific backgrounds. Small wonder. Called The Beach of Falesá, the script was written by Dylan Thomas. In its stagy directions, "a stream foams out of the descending galleries and gardens of the tremendous, verdurous, impenetrable high interior of the island," and a "lantern and the moonlight make the bush all turning shadows that...
