Breasts, Spears, Bullets. With that quaint ritual out of the way, the marines, led by Ambassador McClintock in a black Cadillac, marched (in small groups) into the capital, their arms as inconspicuous as possible, and took up posts around the city. Some Lebanese cheered, but most looked on expressionless. On the second night, marines stationed at an outpost two miles south of the airport returned small-arms fire from four rebels, with no casualties on either side. Two marines who took a wrong turn in their jeep were seized by rebels, questioned by a man who identified himself...
...small Circarama theater in the U.S. pavilion at the Brussels World's Fair, a white-haired man sat expressionless, arms folded, as the circular screen showed movies of U.S. great scenery and U.S. great works. It was the Fourth of July. Suddenly, when the screen showed an aerial view of scarred old mountains and a broad lake and in the midst of them the Colorado River's gleaming Hoover Dam, the old man acknowledged the applause of a small group of Americans standing around him.

Over her face she spreads a foundation cream, creating a pale and expressionless mask. She caresses her cheeks with a liquid rouge, slowly adding color to her face, tops it off by gently patting on a flesh-colored powder.

His head is still bald; he still struggles with his emotions with the expressionless face of a man who has just sat through an elementary Hum. lecture; and his mien while watching Maria Schell (Grushenka) shake voluptuously through a rather fiery dance sequence in a Russian-style sin-den is not unlike the beaming countenance he displayed while greeting his numerous children each morning...
...Royal Festival Hall. A tall, slightly stooped figure in a frock coat emerged from behind a yellow curtain. Feet dragging, he made his way to the podium with the help of a heavy walking stick. As the applause thundered down, the man's solemn, craggy face remained expressionless and unseeing as a blind man's. Otto Klemperer, 72, painfully mounted the podium, planted his feet firmly apart, and gave the downbeat for Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was the climactic moment of a current London Beethoven cycle, and once he began to conduct, he was hardly recognizable...
