...most valuable fixture in the show is 20-year-old Lauren Bacall. [She] has cinema personality to burn, and she burns both ends against an unusually little middle. Her personality is compounded partly of percolated Davis, Garbo, West, Dietrich, Harlow and Glenda Farrell, but more than enough of it is completely new to the screen. She has a javelinlike vitality, a born dancer's eloquence in movement, a fierce female shrewdness and a special sweet-sourness.

I'd also ask for a CD of the score, with Seuss lyrics and music by Frederick Hollander, the cut-rate Kurt Weill who wrote most of Marlene Dietrich's most famous ballads. Most of the tunes are bright and cynical in the Berliner fashion: the perky "Get-Together Weather"; a mock school song for Terwilliker Academy; an elevator song as a guard takes the prisoners to the dungeon and itemizes the evils, floor by descending floor, like a department...
Once those tests prove successful, the private sector will become involved in creating a drug, and Cantley’s research partners at Fort Dietrich military research base in Maryland will take over testing on primates. A drug to combat anthrax toxin cannot be tested on humans because of the ethical and legal dilemmas of exposing humans to a potentially deadly disease...
