...reverses herself, unfortunately, in the Old Vic's Saint Joan. The maid of Domremy, by Shaw's description in his preface, was one of the first of modern women, a take-charge overlord of men. But Jefford's Joan is a wide-eyed schoolgirl heroine, as coy and cute as Sabrina fair. The production also suffers from the paralyzed, tableau style of Douglas Scale's direction. In the end, Saint Joan is the least remarkable of the Old Vic's productions, but it is paradoxically the outstanding one of the lot. For Shakespeare...
...husband-to-be ("I'll tell you what he's like: he's a man, and that's a rare thing to find these days"), the coal miner's daughter, whose 1954 divorce from Winthrop Rockefeller brought her a $6,400,000 settlement, was coy about her wedding date. "I hope," she cooed, "we don't take as long to get married as we did to decide...
...book's blurb, but it is going to be a traumatic moment for the Duvoisin reader when he graduates to Gunsmoke and learns that people shoot not only animals but other people.

Clearly, this sort of thing is aimed not at the child but at auntie and grandma, who will buy the books...
...picked up the bogus information that I spend six months of the year in a Buddhist monastery and the other six in a mental institution." One source of bogus information is the author himself; in the jacket blurb for Franny and Zooey, which he wrote himself, he says with coy fraudulence that "I live in Westport with my dog." The dark facts are that he has not lived in Westport or had a dog for years. But to disprove such rumors and humors involves infiltrating a distant-early-warning system equipped to detect journalists half a continent away...
Crahay, of the house of Ricci, plunges décolletage both fore and aft (either one or the other, not both at once), swirls one-armed capes around suits and coats. Balmain's tubular sheaths stick to the body like spies but turn coy beneath coverup chiffon overlayers. Goma's collection-the theme is "looping the loop"- shows wasp waists and a high bustline. Griffe, who claims to have "rediscovered woman," calls his shape the "jet line," fans permanent pleating out from just underneath the arms or from mid-front and back to the hem. Jacques Heim...
