...brisk pace. Chapter Two is simply too long--the first act runs nearly two hours. Herzer faithfully reproduces Herbert Ross's original staging, but regrettably, he could not reproduce the original cast. Marilyn Redfield's Jennie remains disappointingly one-dimensional, never conveying anything more than her character's chipper exterior. As Faye, Jane A. Johnston delivers her lines well, but not well enough to overcome a case of physical miscasting. Jennie's friend should be in the prime of beauty; Johnston's appearance makes Fay rather frowsy...
Across Lafayette Park on foot. Joggers, pigeons, fresh chrysanthemums (Lady Bird's tender touch). Good morning to Andrew Jackson on bronze horse. Looks more chipper. White House whiter than white in first rays. Godfrey Sperling, Christian Science Monitor's journalistic breakfast impresario, leading 38 colleagues up to front door just like wanted guests. No Marine Band in the foyer, but can almost hear a Sousa march as we proceed into State Dining Room. Elegant E-shaped table with cut fall flowers. Feel like Congressmen with votes in pockets. Orange juice at door for quick fix. Eggs (poached...
Gripe number two: Not one member of the Harvard offensive line got so much as honorable mention. All you have to do is see Mike Clark play guard for one game and then hear Joe Restic talk about him for five minutes to realize that he is a blue-chipper up front.

No snooty headwaiters, no discomfort over which fork to use; the teen-agers who always seem to be taking orders at the counter are chipper as Munchkins. At many roadside stands the food may indeed be cheap, but it is also inexpensive. Tests have shown that it would cost about two-thirds of the menu price to duplicate some fast-food meals at home. Factor in cooking labor and clean-up time, not to mention the absence of such fillips as special sauces or eleven...
...highest-paid executive. He earns $340,000 a year, though taxes gobble up 80% of it. In addition, Wall controls 15% of all outstanding Beijerinvest shares, which at current market prices are worth about $3.6 million. In marked contrast to the stereotype of the dour Swede, Wall is a chipper, handsome, nattily dressed man who favors loud ties and modern art. A striking transparent torso of a woman stuffed with American $1 bills adorns his Stockholm office. Wall's key strength as an executive-a virtue that pleases even Sweden's socialists-is his almost uncanny ability...
