...sure that the chap who opened the left-handed shop in London last year won't make a go of it. I would guess that the majority of left-handers would have a hard time learning to use something designed just for them either because 1) they have learned to use most things as a right-hander would, or 2) they have learned to use things in their own gauche-appearing...
...After relishing sweet reviews of my play, God Is a (Guess What?) [Dec. 27] from eight of the major New York critics, your man's bitter but beautiful blast was refreshing. However, it reminds me of a story about George Bernard Shaw. After a curtain speech at the opening of one of his plays, Mr. Shaw was greeted with great applause by all of the audience save one man who expressed his opinion with a resounding "Boo!"

Deputy Under Secretary of State Robert Murphy offered Davies a chance to resign, though nine security hearings produced no evidence that he was disloyal.

...with so few instruments. Its hard to describe, but the breaks in their sound awfully formless and abstract, but deep down they consist of just a hard drum beat, a loud bass, and Townshend's amazing chorded rhythm or lead guitar. They use virtually no sophisticated recording tricks. I guess the thing is that they have retained all of the normal apparatus of a regular old rock and roll band, but their sound is unique. The only two groups that have done remakes of Who songs are the Amboy Dukes, and Count Five, but both of them were dismal limitations...
