...procedural issue to avoid coming to grips with the code reform issue. It is always rare that a majority or a substantial minority knows what they are voting on." The Post and The Times too editorially censured the House subcommittee for what they saw as an attempt to duck a complicated problem in an election year...
...regard for flavor, texture and color. Each begins like an opera, with an enticing overture leading ineluctably on toward the major arias. Because they lack space for pasturage, the central Chinese south of the Yellow River do not eat much beef or lamb. Most specialties are based on chicken, duck, pork, bountiful vegetables and a huge variety of fresh-and saltwater fish and shellfish. It is basically a cuisine of survival, in which every last conceivably usable ingredient goes into the pot. How about smoked ducks' tongues? Fish eyes and spiced chicken feet? Wine-braised camel's hump...

Like so many of the folks back home, Perry hates The City...
...represents the director well. Incidentally, this film will be screened tonight (Thursday) at Harvard-Epworth Church, just a ways up Mass Avenue and certainly the worthiest film organization in the area, run by friendly, dedicated cinema buffs who could make good use of your small (only a dollar) donation Duck Soup. Hail, hail, Freedonia, land of the brave and free. Forget what anyone else says; this is quite simply the best film the Marx brothers ever made. Where their other films confined their revolutionary energies to Florida, the opera house, the racetrack, and so forth, Duck Soup gives the Marxist...
