...protagonists are boys with invisible Gardol shields around them, so unsure of themselves they can't like other people as much as other people like them. As many of Scott Fitzgerald's narrators also do, they stand at windows and peer out at life. Or stand on the street and peer in. It seems to me that Fitzgerald assauged his own loneliness and inferiority by creating other people larger and better than life, the heroes his narrators could never be. As long as there were titans, the world was at least tolerable. Life was an eating club Fitzgerald could never...
With green eyes and a Gardol smile, he has an appeal to women that approximates Lena Horne's impact on men. Yet for all his public charm, he is an inner-directed man in an outer-directed profession. Even his closest staff aides have accepted the fact that he insists on making key decisions alone. In his climb to the Senate, Brooke has brought to bear the caution of the colored man, the self-confidence of the mulatto, and the conservatism of a family that was civil-service oriented...
...business and a national British pastime to boot. From creaky ferries, minesweepers, freighters and abandoned World War II antiaircraft towers just outside the three-mile limit, impudent stations such as Radio Caroline and Radio London blast out the siren songs of the Beatles, the Stones, Ella, Frankie, Dylan, Gardol and S. & H.

Not only is the sport good for advertising bullion; the pirate stations have also become a symbol of the rebellion against the BBC, whose hoary morning Housewives' Choice is apt to consist...

Weisman's adaptation of Marceau's skit "The Cage" is a lovingly prepared allegory on the prisoner of modern society, trapped by the invisible shield of Gardol. Weisman's flappy figure strolls out in a relaxed gait and walks right into a contracting glass cage. He escapes, by breaking the wall, but ignorantly stumbles back into the trap, and to destruction...
...Hope recently: "The NBC peacock is really a plucked pigeon with a Clairol rinse." Jerry Lewis punched out a joke with the tag line, "Look, Mom, no cavities!"-which happens to be a slogan of Crest toothpaste. Steve Allen built a skit around Colgate's toothpaste ingredient, Gardol, and the Three Stooges built an act around Polaroid cameras. On NBC's Ford Startime fortnight ago, Dean Martin greeted Guest Frank Sinatra with a cheery "What's this you're wearing-My Sin?" And on a Crosby-Sinatra show, one of whose comedy skits involved the rest...
