...smaller parts, mostly of parasites and people Fisk attracts into his whirlwind way of life, Joan Tolentino as a madam and Andy Weil as a barber and several drunks are funny and invariably interesting to watch. Arthur Friedman is top-notch as Drew, also as a lunatic Indian fighter speaking half in words, half in pidgin sign-language. Stephen Kaplan doing two numbers in blackface is revolting, and when revolting, Stephen Kaplan is invariably magnificent. Dominic Meiman as Fisk's secretary, among other parts, is consistently excellent, as are can-can dancer Lindsay Crouse's legs...
...bitter invective and bile unparalleled during his three-year tenure. Tory Iain Macleod thundered to the House that "the country is sick to death of this whining and whimpering from the Prime Minister." When Wilson claimed to have answered a question that he really had not, Tory Chairman Anthony Barber exclaimed: "That confirms the suspicion of the whole country that the right honorable gentleman is a twister." The Speaker asked Barber to withdraw the remark. Some of the harshest criticism was leveled at Wilson by the former head of the Bank of England, Lord Cromer. Unlike Britain...
What are these objects meant to say or suggest? No use asking Hunt, the softspoken, bespectacled, conservatively tailored son of a Chicago barber, who graduated from the Chicago Art Institute's school in 1957, studied in Italy, and has in the past five years been hailed as one of the Midwest's most successful sculptors.

The humiliation of A.E.I. Chairman Sir Charles Wheeler, Chief Executive Sir Joseph Latham and Finance Director John Barber stemmed from the circumstances of the lunch. Their guest, General Electric Co. Ltd. Managing Director Arnold Weinstock, 43, had just acquired their company in one of the bitterest takeover battles in British business history and had come to Grosvenor Place to begin putting it into effect...
...criticism, the eyes come first; all the cultural infrastructuring that places an object within its historical context can come later. Fortunately for Henry Kraus, 61, a Knoxville, Tenn., barber's son who studied mathematics in college and made a career out of medical journalism, he first fell in love with medieval cathedrals by feasting his eyes on them while a student at the Sorbonne. Before he ever cracked a book about it, Gothic art had become a secret passion. Now, with time to pursue it, he has written a revolutionary study, rediscovering scores of facts about medieval iconography...
