...most of the music and lyrics, except for some excellent parodies, were perfunctory, the staging and dance (under Director Copper Coggins and head choreographer Jane Michaels) was lively and funny.

Shaun Murphy, as Chairman of the Memory Cells of the machine, stumbled onstage supported by a wobbly staff to deliver a glaze-eyed listing of the foibles of Eastern men's schools (this number is a feature of the Junior Show which usually has the same level of tradition and humor to it as the Hasty Pudding's kick-line...
Chicago's Inland Steel Co. has put 233 women on its production lines for the first time since World War II, and the Jewel Tea Co. has hired women as butchers to supplement its draft-depleted supply of manpower.

One day Smith picked up a phone to make a call, but Bragg...

The West German firms are about to start seismic soundings. This year Phillips also acquired from the Sultan copper-mining and commercial fishing rights in Oman...
