...know why in 1947 Henry had been so slow to ban the campus chapter of American Youth for Democracy. The fact that Henry did ban it as soon as the FBI made it clear that the A.Y.D. was an offshoot of the Young Communist League did not seem to faze...
Ores, Balrogs & Ringwraiths. Frodo is about as eager to do this as P. G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster would be to play Siegfried. The bulk of the novel describes his trials. Some of them would scarcely faze a cub scout, and there is so much hiking in fog and snow, up hill and through bog, that Frodo seems at times like a mythical postman. His enemies, however, send shivers rippling along the spine: toeless, green-scaled Ores, fire-breathing Balrogs, Barrow-wights who put their prey in a catatonic trance, and the Ringwraiths, nine black-shrouded riders on nine...
Four years ago, after her husband became governor of Oklahoma, Mrs. Johnston Murray complained that her swollen right hand was nearly paralyzed from shaking hands with more than 100,000 persons along the campaign trail.

Oliver Smith's scenery and the music composed...
...outcome did not seem to faze busy Ben Miller. On Wednesday, he had recovered sufficiently to join some 500 other TV actors at Broadway's Maxine Elliott Theater, where he won the audition for a role in this week's CBS show Danger. Thursday, dressed as a cowboy, he posed for a photograph scheduled to appear in Look magazine. Friday, he turned artisan and spent the day soldering together metal frames for hoop skirts that will be worn by the Rockettes of Radio City's Music Hall in their Christmas show...
