...camp complexes as "a kingdom bigger than France." Each camp bore a bucolic code name such as Lake Camp, Steppe Camp, Sandy Camp. "You'd think there must be some great, unknown poet in the secret police, a new Pushkin," writes Solzhenitsyn. "He's not quite up to a full-length poem, but he gives these wonderful poetic names to concentration camps." These passages obviously parallel Solzhenitsyn's own experiences; after his years in Mavrino, he was sent to such a camp in Kazakhstan, part of a complex called Karlag, which was indeed as large as France. So many prisoners...
...acquisition of MCA goes through, Westinghouse will be getting a studio that accounts for 151 hours a week of network TV's prime-time output (The Virginian, It Takes a Thief and Ironside) and has turned out some of Hollywood's most profitable full-length features (Thoroughly Modern Millie, The Secret War of Harry Frigg).

This is a little like trying to write a full-length biography of a still-born baby. The networks end up interviewing delegates and candidates over and over again, asking them the same insipid questions, occasionally shifting to the speaker at the rostrum, and then concluding, as Walter Cronkite concluded Tuesday night, that this session was "sometimes dull...
...love scene that was definitely neither grotesque nor comical. A filmy-gowned Isolde and a bare-chested Tristan met in a forest glade that Menotti had sprayed with mood-inducing perfume; they kissed rapturously, and then, singing at the top of their voices, sank into a long, full-length embrace in the grass...
