...second jarring element in conception is the casting of physically small actors to play big characters. Given the necessity of using cleanshaven students for Irish laborers, Hamlin might at least have found tall students, and ones with deep voices. Toby Hurd as Jack Clitheroe (a bricklayer) is so implausible physically that the intensity of his performance goes for naught. M.D. Schlesinger, as Peter Flynn, must rely on a strictly musical-comedy set of old man's gestures which destroy the conviction of every scene...

...Japanese artists swarmed aboard Perry's six black ships, sketching virtually everything in sight with swift brush strokes on mulberry-bark paper. Their captions are often as eerily strange as their pictures, which confirmed the Japanese notion that all Westerners had enormous noses and were covered with hair. Cleanshaven Commodore Perry is shown as a slant-eyed demon, heavily mustached and bearded, with eyebrows as thick as bagels...

Spumoni Sodas. Fresh and cleanshaven, U.S. coffeehouses have emerged from Beatsville to branch out in a dozen directions, becoming everything from Great Books clubs to theaters for silent movies; but most significantly they have become intimate showcases for nascent theatrical talent.

...little town of Mateur, 40 miles from the capital city of Tunis, a nationalist in a scarlet skullcap leaped atop a rickety table and proclaimed joyful news to a crowd. One by one, he haled 17 cleanshaven, tough-looking young men up beside him, and as each appeared the crowd yelled louder and hand-clapped rhythmically.

Previously, the London Poles had disclosed that Bor was Lieut. General Tadeusz Komorowski, a regular-army cavalry officer. Blue-eyed, dapper, cleanshaven, lean and tall, he was born 46 years ago near Lvov, fought the Germans in the last war, was slightly wounded in Warsaw, later became an officer and attended the Ecole de Guerre in Paris. He was commanding a cavalry brigade in 1939 when Poland fell. In the summer of 1943 General Wladislaw Sikorsky appointed him chief of the Polish underground, less than 24 hours before Sikorsky was killed in an airplane crash. The Germans were said...
