...like yesterday's escarole and a bottom the size of a hope chest. Adolfo (Francois Perier) is a big-city bachelor with a discouraged mustache and legs like fuzzy yellow pencils. They meet after he answers her ad in a lonely-hearts column, and in this sad, hilarious, faultless little film by Italy's Antonio Pietrangeli, they begin and end in a single day the least hopeful attempt at pairing since the dish ran away with the spoon...
Bestselling Author Yukio Mishima can write no wrong-at least in his native Japan. There he has briskly blended sensation and sensibility in 16 novels, 30 plays, and 80 short stories. Nine of these have now been issued in fluid, faultless English translation. In Onnagata, a dedicated Kabuki actor who plays only feminine roles lives his onstage art offstage as well, falls in love with a nasty new-wave director. In Patriotism, a dis graced lieutenant and his wife rapturously relax in a last voluptuous night together-and discover that after such pleasures, hara-kiri hurts even harder...
...scenery by Robert Randolph seems to have come straight out of the comic books. Metropolis's skyline is faultless. The Daily Planet, Clark Kent's apartment, City Hall, and scores of other familiar landmarks move effortlessly on and off the stage. Unfortunately, Superman himself is another matter.

Besides all this, it is happy, playful, loyal, fearless, curious, and can be taught tricks...
...time Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew arrived on the scene half an hour later, police billies had subdued the rioters. Lee soothed them with an apology for the "misunderstanding" and a pep talk in faultless Malay on his favorite theme, the satisfaction of Singapore's multiracial way of life. When Lee put down his bullhorn, the recruits cheered him heartily. Still, it was a close call. Communal rioting in July and September 1964 took more than 100 lives and caused severe property damage. Though Lee told the recruits that they could certainly remain in the Army, it seemed equally...
