...Lilacs bloom listlessly in the dooryards, and the fluid play of baseball is again at hand. Shrill raucous crics of encouragement and derision shatter the cool air above Fenway Park, unruly urchins hurl dirty oranges and even dirtier epithets at their adversaries. Only the umpire's stolid face, inflexible as Procrustes' bed, retains its wintry imperturbaility...
...Lorenz Hart was at his pithy best, and Richard Rodgers had not yet flowered into his fluffy and roseate bloom. The final issue of their union was Pal Joey, the story of a down and out entertainer, based on some stories by John O'Hara.

But throughout Britain he is best known as Arthur Seaton, hero of the film version of Novelist Alan Sillitoe's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, an elaborately praised production that will give the U.S. its first full look at Albert Finney, when it opens...
...bloom is off the postwar housing boom, most builders see no cause for panic. "The demand will be steady, like food," says one builder. Population growth and simple replacement needs indicate a demand for at least 1,300,000 new homes a year until...
