...John of Gaunt in both body and voice, though there is more to be had from his farewell speech, as grand a paean to England as ever was penned. As staged here, Gaunt walks slowly off stage in apparent good health; no sooner is the last of his gown out of sight in the wings when Northumberland (solidly played by Will Geer) bounds back into view to report Gaunt's death. Now Shakespeare is partly to blame, for he wrote only eight lines between Gaunt's last words and the announcement of his death. The director should handle this better...
...wide bridge across the width of the pool. Upon it, smack in the middle, were a table and two chairs. At one moment, Ethel was sitting there with John Glenn. Then Glenn was sitting there alone-while Ethel was floundering about in the water, bright red evening gown and all. Later, no one seemed quite able (or willing) to remember how she got there. Other guests quickly fished her out, and Ethel changed into a dry dress and a brown wig that just happened to be on hand. But that was only the beginning: into the water, at the hands...
...Rhapsody over, Goodman and company piled into their more familiar repertory-such songs as Let's Dance and One O'Clock Jump-with a gusto that brought the audience to its feet and saved the evening.

After five encores, the band signed off with its theme song, Let's Dance. The audience continued to clap...

One bitter New York investor, recalling how the stock market plunged after Dwight Eisenhower's 1955 heart attack, muttered last week: "I wonder what would happen if Kennedy had a heart attack.'' Donning cap and gown at Yale's commencement exercises. President Kennedy delivered a speech on economics that was characteristically stronger on style than on substance. And even though he was trying to hold out a hand of friendship to U.S. business, he could not resist a threat of the sort that has so shaken business confidence...
...months after rescuers hacksawed him, battered and bloody, out of the unrecognizable wreckage of a pale green Lotus at England's Goodwood International Grand Prix, Auto Racer Stirling Moss, 32, was talking about getting back behind the wheel. In pajamas and striped dressing gown, the durable daredevil sat in a wheelchair at London's Atkinson Morley's Hospital, joshing the "head-shrinkers" who were putting him through tests, flirting with nurses and telling friends, "I'll be teaching you the twist soon." Doctors no longer feared paralysis from brain damage, but they said it would...
