...even as Nixon conferred, they wheeled the big jets into the hangars at Andrews Air Force Base to give them a fresh coat of turtle wax and burnish them for the trip this week to the Soviet Union, which will be bigger, more profound and yield more headlines that the workers in the White House will clip, measure and assay...
Thereafter, crime dramas, shipboard romances, even westerns were adopted by the new art form. The results were often ludicrous but invariably profitable. To survive, almost every studio learned to experiment with musicals, but no company ever duplicated the burnish and exuberance of the MGM product. The proof can be found in That's Entertainment!, a two-hour retrospective backed by the current owners of MGM. These are operators who have converted studio real estate and properties into the MGM Grand Hotel, a Las Vegas monument to brashness and vulgarity. Still, if they are contemptuous of the future, they...
Even as Managua still smoldered, the Somoza regime began pondering reconstruction. Money posed no great problem; the Nixon Administration, which is anxious to burnish Washington's tarnished image in Latin America, would almost certainly be eager to help bankroll the building of a new capital.

For example, the projected spending burst for capital improvements should burnish the allure of heavy equipment and machine-tool issues.

For a broad range of stocks, however, 1973 is shaping up as a gilt...
...hustings is hardly unexpected. For Pat, this is the ninth campaign and 26th year of politics, including those years when Nixon was politicking out of his law office instead of a public office. She has had eight years as second lady and four as First Lady in which to burnish her image to a high gloss. For Eleanor, this is the seventh campaign and 16th year in the field. For whatever advantage Pat has in experience, Eleanor can claim compensating interest. Of the two, Eleanor was far more exposed to politics in her youth. Otherwise, their backgrounds contain notable parallels...
