...ADLOW has seen all this before. The blue nuggets are remembering. He is vicious and bitter; something is bothering him and he will remain in this ugly mood for the rest of the day. He had been compassionate with the drunks before, but now he is vicious: "No continuance. We're not going to let ourselves be pushed around by a bunch of kids." The girl is given a suspended sentence--there is some mercy there. The judge must know about Bridgewater, he sent so few of the drunks up, and I suppose he knows about Framingham...
...Guthrie's boy created a piece of instant Americana: a talking blues that wrapped an antiwar protest inside a hilarious tall tale. A classic is a hard thing to live down, especially for a performer of 21. This amiable but unmemorable release-recorded live at Manhattan's Bitter End cafe -indicates that it may be some time before Guthrie matches Restaurant again.

While it might make for some laughs (as it does in the original play), garbage is not the stuff of which pathos is made...
...case was tried in the storm and tension of emotions between old friends who had become bitter enemies. And in the thunder echoed such words as frame-up, dishonesty, fraud and concocted perjury." Thus, in London, did a member of the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords describe the bitter lawsuit involving Maria Callas and two Greek shipowners, Aristotle Onassis and Panaghis Vergottis. At stake was 51% of the shares in a $3,000,000 freighter that Maria said the men had given her as a token of friendship that was to provide for her old age. Onassis never...
