...Harold Rome, with three (lesser) ones, might be overrepresented in a show meant to be panoramic. The two sketches are amusing, and give the stars a chance to mewl and mug becomingly; but, from the same book (The Greatest Revue Sketches) that Viertel & Co. dipped into, I'd have chosen George S. Kaufman's brief, devastating "If Men Played Cards As Women Do" from Berlin's Third Music Box Revue of 1923.

Some 19 million voters followed him. In a terse speech on May 6 after his overwhelming victory, Sarkozy said France "has chosen to break with the ideas, habits and behaviors of the past." No more fealty to the notion that France's unique social model can insulate it from the ravages of globalization; no more reflexive opposition to the U.S., which enjoyed a rare expression of Gallic affection when Sarkozy said: "France...
