...Grande De Coca-Cola, which opened last week at the Charles Cabaret Theater, is one long series of failed jokes. You sit and wait and wait for a funny one--with so many shots fired, surely one must hit the target, but somehow they don't. The tension builds. You begin to laugh at near jokes, ones that fall just short of the mark, worried perhaps that the others have gone over your head. And when, after an hour and five minutes, the curtain comes down for the last time you walk out relieved, as though the main task...
...boys wear this traditional protection against the cold. It looks something like the flight cap of a World War I flying ace, with flaps pulled down over the ears. "Que es?" --What is it? I asked gamely enough, as I looked at the bottle that said "Coca-Cola" through the dust that covered it. The men continued to laugh. They must not speak Spanish, I thought.

And nobody else, not the Victorian novels she grew up on, not Doris Day, not even Peyton Place, led her to picture anything less. So Isadora figures she's been brainwashed...
...grapple with such problems, and keep the booming business center of the city thriving, the portly (275 Ibs.), personable Jackson will have to deal shrewdly with Atlanta's white establishment. As a tangible earnest of its willingness to cooperate, Coca-Cola Board Chairman J. Paul Austin gathered 30 business colleagues together last week and helped offset the remaining $30,000 debt of the Jackson campaign. In his defeat of Mayor Sam Massell last October, Jackson polled 21% of the white vote. That was a considerable achievement. Massell gave the contest an appallingly racist tinge by branding Jackson...
