...almost got kicked out of Gilpatric's set. Griswold Lorillard -- scion, as social columnists would put it, of the tobacco Lorillards -- showed up in the rarefied regions of the country club at Tuxedo Park, N.Y., wearing a red waistcoat with his best bib and tucker. The incendiary vest was bad enough, but what really stirred up the swells was the inescapable fact that Griswold's tails did not have any. The tailcoat was cut even and short, like a suit jacket. Scion or not, Griswold almost got the bounce, until cooler heads and appraising eyes took over...
...ballet Bad Smells, Tharp used a snoopily aggressive closed- circuit video camera to chart her dancers' every move, projecting close-up images on an overhead TV screen. Anderson's works, such as her two-evening epic United States, Parts I-IV (1983) or her 1985 stage show Home of the Brave, play off the television culture that gave them birth. Indeed, some avantgardists have made the television screen their preferred medium, like Korean-born Video Artist Nam June Paik, who amasses hundreds of video monitors in assemblages.

Ground balls were lost in the sun, popups in the shadows, but Grich looked the most misplaced of all, blaming Third Base Coach Moose Stubing too savagely for botching a signal. Grich remains spry enough at 37 to lash game-winning hits, but he had grown...
...restaurants have to offer. Fortunately, its co-authors are both experts in nutrition and not a pair of glazed-eyed granola freaks. They recognize that fast-food places can't be avoided. Their book is an attempt to educate the general reader on what's good and what's bad in the fast-food world and how to tell the difference. But as they amply document, most of the gristle served in fast-food joints isn't just bad--it's also bad...
...easily imagine the authors of this handy little book singing a little jingle in the shower most every morning: "Mm-mm bad, mm-mm bad, that's what most fast-food is, mm-mm bad." They're right. Considering how much of the drek we eat every year, a little knowledge about it can only be helpful, if not pleasant. And considering how much we spend on the stuff every year, a $4.95 investment in the book is a bargain...
