...particularly bad day for Albert to get out of bed. Indeed, none of the last three days has been a walk, as lurid detail after lurid detail of his sex life emerged, and the tabloids seemed barely able to conceal their glee. But Marv's misery is not over yet. Not only could he still face a year in jail or a $2,500 fine, but also Sally Donnelly, TIME Washington correspondent, reports that his accuser has already retained a lawyer for further action: "It's a slam dunk," says Donnelly, "that she'll file a civil suit against Albert...
When a person, especially a female, walks into the laundry room and finds me clutching a huge bale of her personal garments, I find it very important to take quick and decisive action. I find a pair of pantyhose in the bale, and place them over my head to conceal my identity. Then I throw the bale at her and run from the room as quickly as I can. It is important to know where the door is when running quickly from the room, as it is hard to see with pantyhose over your head, especially while running at high...
...football playoff tickets, plane trips and limousine rides from Tyson Foods; luggage and U.S. Open tennis tickets from Sun-Diamond Growers; and tickets to an N.B.A. championship game.

What does matter is the effect their unseen presence (or absence) has on a group of affluent, complacent New York professionals. Having made it big doesn't conceal the fact that they're ill-equipped and totally unprepared for dealing with a crisis of this kind. Throw in a case of whiplash, back spasms, temporary deafness and all manner of quirks and mishaps, and you've got manifold ways of making them look even more foolish...
...real entertainment began when baritone Earle Patriarco's Sergeant Belcore took the stage. A classic miles gloriosus, this Belcore had a vapidity no strutting could conceal. Equally but independently ridiculous was bass Dale Travis' Doctor Dulcamara, a hobo-quack who bore an eerie resemblance to the poet Donald Hall. Dulcamara's vendor antics completely undercut his dramatic entrance and resonant "udite" ("listen!"), and his abracadabra, Darkwing Duck gesturings made one laugh out loud. If it hadn't been for the skillful comic acting of these two, the farcical plot would have been in awkward tension with the gorgeous music. Though...
