...fond if not indulgent critic, though, Hofstadter praises the vitality of his progressives and probes their private lives and times. In surprisingly effective thumbnail sketches, Turner appears as a generous teacher and enthusiast who would never have survived in the publish-or-perish world of today's scholar. During his lifetime he signed contracts to write at least nine books which he never finished, though he left 34 file cases of notes...

Now, with the five-day week and the superhighway, the happiest holidays are those that happen to fall on a Monday or Friday, thus providing a three-day weekend.

The muffler man's 300-piece collection, valued at $2,000,000, shines throughout his manor house in Winnetka...
...stage voice, Except for a few aberrant excursions into a Russian accent--notably a weird first-act "Dat's vhy"--he spoke clearly, firmly, strongly and wrongly in a kind of Laurence Harvey accent that disappeared only when his acting instincts carried him away. And Lloyd Schwartz's charming enthusiast Trofimov, who ended the first act in an exquisitely naive love scene with Miss Firth, seemed afterwards unsure how to time and blend his seriousness and humor...
