...Hoffa's top lobbyist, blundering, blunderbussing Sidney Zagri. Soon after Zagri denounced Thompson as an enemy to labor, Thompson began getting threatening telephone calls, finally reported them to the FBI. Driving to the Capitol one morning last week. Thompson was stopped at a red light when a green Ford truck pulled up next to him. A man leaned out the window, pointed a rubber syringe at Thompson, squirted a stream of liquid. Only bad aim saved Frank Thompson from serious injury: the liquid was sulphuric acid, and the little that did hit Thompson burned a hole through his shirt...
...this King Lear was not the lean, commanding character of Shakespearean tradition. Brought to the stage of Britain's Stratford Memorial Theater by Cinemactor Charles (Mutiny on the Bounty) Laughton last week, King Lear was an eye-rolling, tongue-lolling, hand-scrabbling, dirty old man.

The Theatre Guild never recaptured its glories of the '205 but achieved some later notable successes. It was Theresa Helburn who sent the script of Lynn Riggs's Green Grow the Lilacs to Composer Richard Rodgers and suggested it might make a' good musical. Result: Oklahoma...
...moon-based songwriter would have his troubles; an obvious rhyme for earth is girth, and in the radiance of earthlight, a moon-maiden's face would shine bluish green. But if science fiction is somewhat short on romance, it does offer today's readers the kind of adventurous, he-man escape from gravity once found in turn-of-the-century western yarns-a commodity not to be dismissed in this day of beatniks and Angry Young...
