...over-enthusiast here apparently stepping sideways from his shell into the water is actually pushing his shell away from the dock. He continued to push until clear and, still dry, rowed gleefully up and down the Charles, cautiously avoiding Blake Dennison, singles coach, the crew, construction debris, and other over-enthusiasts who were also rowing happily about in the mocha waters...
...from a lynch mob and takes him on as a client, but only for the Commie purpose of using Angel's case as party-line propaganda. While he rakes in folding money at a "Free Angel Rally," Barney turns over the boy's actual defense to David Blake, a solemn young law pro fessor out for "practical experience," who is too trusting to know what Barney's left ist hand is doing.

...provocative, if somewhat cloying, combination of Lincoln and sex; the second used the rhythmic movements of 18 actors (as many as were employed in the cast of State of the Union) to create a mock political parade and rally that ended up as a plug for Ford cars. Adman Blake Johnson of Kenyon & Eckhardt reported that the commercials, which were colorcast, cost five times more than usual and were rehearsed for three days instead of the customary few hours. Pontiac commercials concentrate on good "portrait shots" of the car while an off-screen announcer raves about "this year...
