...flat-chested humor of the most nasal resonnance. The diction throughout is based on the questionable philosophy that France is full of Frenchmen. Little Arlette, the dyer-kiss do-de-o-do (but I loof heem, ah mon Dieu how I loof heem). Jacques the melancholy boulevardier (you ave hask me eef I spik ze English?), and Mimi the cockeyed marmoset, are really but two-dimensional characters. They never really exist. With that amen of thankfulness, let us ask ourselves how, even in the greatness of the economic waste in the book industry, this mosaie of maudlin superfluity was ever...

...unmarked car rolled out of the White House grounds. At the wheel was Mrs. Hoover. With her rode Mrs. Adolph Ochs, Mrs. Edgar Rickard, Miss Margaret Rickard. They drove around the Tidal Basin, saw the cherry blossoms, circled the Lincoln Memorial. As Mrs. Hoover turned homeward into West Executive Ave. a motorist swung into a parking space, missed it, backed out to try again, thus blocking traffic. Mrs. Hoover gave her horn an impatient toot. Not recognizing her, the motorist signaled the First Lady to "pipe down." She did, smiling...
...still tall and lean and lank, but dried and greyed by the years. A widower with six children, he resides in a magnificent marble house just north of the Connecticut Ave. bridge. The family home in Provo has long since stood shuttered and vacant, grass tall in its yard? supposedly a symbol of the Senator's personal sacrifice in public service. His high poke collar with its white linen tie has given way to a lower softer neckdress, but there has been no relaxation in the grim stiff Smoot personality. From his indefatigability has sprung the verb to smoot...
...Grossian and Burbigian dialects. As one well versed in the variations of 'English as she is spoke', this reviewer, at a guess, would say that the raconteur of Mr. Burbig's stories is of mixed Jewish and Italian parentage and that he learned his English somewhere in Amsterdam Ave. As a result the pristine purity of the true Yiddish-English, a dialect to delight the heart of the connoiseur, is lost...
