...entertainment that she conceived-in classic show-business fashion, over lunch at the Russian Tea Room with Hamlisch and Lyricist Christopher Adler-has a spritz of autobiography, a soupçon of her movie roles, a dusting of philosophy and a big dollop of dancing. Virtually every word of dialogue MacLaine speaks is about herself, and that is just as she intends it: "Philosophically, celebrating myself is what I am into." Apart from her one-liners, there is one highly effective if overlong joke: she sings a Harold Arlen medley while the conductor and orchestra, supposedly influenced by the ghosts...
...hymn thundered from 3,000 throats in the seaside town of Blackpool last week as Britain's Conservative Party opened its annual conference. And why not rejoice?

The rest of Reagan's macroeconomic policy has all the coherence of a Jackson Pollack canvas--a splash of tax breaks for the rich, a big dollop for the Pentagon, and plenty of white space for the poor and working class Reagan's defense buildup might conceivably create a few jobs, but unity for highly skilled workers and engineers in the already humming weapons plants of the Sun Belt...
...York Times column: "Thus is the produce of the most fertile brain placed at the disposal of the masses. The most advanced mind is able to serve the humblest illiterate by being applied to contain a sneeze, to comfort some tender portion of the flesh, to absorb perhaps a dollop of fish grease which has landed on the kitchen floor...
