...little hard actually to see the object being offered, but it "puts more color into the wood," says Acey Decy Equipment Co.'s Peter Ritter. The sound system is pitched to discourage any distracting conversation in the audience. Young women in long, sexy T shirts pass out ice-cream daiquiris. People sit clutching bid cards in one hand and plates of shrimp, ribs, tacos, fruit, salad in the other. In the aisles, dozens of bid spotters, dressed in implausible ice cream-hued tuxedos, gesture, shout, plead, cheer and jump...

Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy also make a brief appearance, one of their last. Jim Henson, the tall, skinny creator...
...future that Hitler is planning across the border in Germany. Durrell is still prone to overripe passages, but some of his audacious effects work memorably. He describes the madam of a French brothel sitting in her establishment, "enthroned in wigged splendour like a very very old ice cream of a deposed empress." At its frequent best, Livia offers a world of cool, dark enchantment...
