...know about repetition compulsion syndrome and the disastrous effects of grasping time and time again to garner the elusive. Just as in the real world, inside the weight room the way to break such an endless cycle of frustration is to hit the machines, increase literal repetitions and create a proper workout. Moreover, this newfound energy will provide invigorating freedom. Surely even Buttercup, with a few turns on the butterfly machine, could manage to escape any self-constructed dungeon...
...Blair world is also one in which Judeo-Christian values will flourish. The Major regime had a smack of agnosticism, even atheism, about it, and its endless sex scandals set a low moral tone for the nation. Blair is the first Prime Minister to be a regular Sunday churchgoer since the beginning of the century. What is perhaps more immediately important is that he considers his religious and his political values to be identical, believing that Christian convictions translate directly into politics. One of his chief aims will be to do all in his power to rebuild the family...
...kids at heart, and the Warner aces (Jones, Avery, Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett) were brilliant kids, all in their 20s or early 30s, when they created Porky, Daffy and Bugs.

The movie's budget went largely to transporting hundreds of cast and crew members...
Roth has frequently celebrated his once predominantly Jewish alma mater as something like a yeshiva of assimilation. Swede, so called for his tall, blond, blue-eyed good looks, is built for a speedy launch into the American mainstream. His luck seems endless. He joins the Marines as World War II is ending; he returns from service to prepare to take over Newark Maid, his father's successful glove factory; and he marries the former Mary Dawn Dwyer, Miss New Jersey...
