...cult of cleanliness, a plastic bottle of Mennen spray deodorant. He also stowed away a private armory that seemed sufficient to hold off an army: machete, Bowie knife, hatchet, a 6-mm. Remington bolt-action rifle with a 4-power Leupold telescopic sight (with which, experts say, a halfway decent shot can consistently hit a 6½-in. circle from 300 yds.), a 35-mm. Remington rifle, a 9-mm. Luger pistol, a Galesi-Brescia pistol and a .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum revolver. At home, he left three more rifles, two derringers...
...triple rimes get maddeningly predictable, e.g. "when you're walking on the street," and "when you're trying to keep your feet." "I Want You," after two passable stanzas, degenerates into similar rime-tagging; it also suffers from the tedious triple chorus of its title. One half-decent stanza late in the song suggests the deficiencies of the rest...
...Decent Darkness. From Ansermet's spirited and successful attack, it was hard to believe that he is 82. Half a century ago, he braved fistfights and a barrage of vegetables to first promote the works of such tradition-shattering composers as Debussy and Stravinsky.

Ansermet built the Suisse Romande into one of Europe's most finely honed ensembles, guest-conducted almost all of the world...

Kidnaped once by Apaches, she yearns to go back to the tribe because her husband (Dennis Weaver) doesn't think any decent woman should have lived through the ordeal, much less have borne a son to an Indian chieftain. Bibi is de fended by a trail scout (James Garner), who is determined to find the marshal who slew and scalped his Comanche wife. Broncobuster Sidney Poitier and Scottish Cavalryman Bill Travers pointedly underplay the long thought...
...burden of this stupidity falls almost entirely on the student. Anyone who knows anything about the Cambridge housing market understands that the supply is extremely tight and prices, especially close to Harvard Square, are high. In the Spring a student may find decent rooms near the Square at reasonable rates. Every passing month makes the search more difficult, and by the fall apartment seekers often have to sacrifice the convenience of proximity to the Yard to avoid paying exorbitant rents...
