UNFORTUNATELY, THE PLAY IS disconnected for two reasons. First, most of the actors obtain their height of perfection too late. Of Mice and Men may have a couple of high points and a dramatic ending to aim for, but Act I and other lesser scenes must display more enthusiasm. The actors' sensitivity or meanness should never falter. The opening dialogue between Lennie and George does not exhibit Steinbeck's intensity (although George's shouting does spark things...
...could bring together Lucille Ball, Rowan and Martin, and Flip Wilson as Geraldine in a bunny outfit-an anniversary party at the Beverly Hills Hotel in honor of Johnny Carson's ten years as host of the Tonight Show. After receiving an eleven-tier cake almost twice his height (5 ft. 11 in.), Carson startled his guests by announcing: "A lot of columnists have been asking why me and my gal haven't set a date for the wedding, so I think I will tell you that we were married at 1:30 this afternoon."

How do you think they got there in the first place? They got there because they were shot down from bombing planes...
...Cambridge Conservation Commission and the Planning for People Committee. And it takes no genius to envision the oddity of a 19-story Holiday Inn erupting into the Cambridge skyline from a position not 100 yards from Cronin's Restaurant. The incongruity of the Nation's Innkeeper rising twice the height of Holyoke Center--the Square's tallest building by five stories--is not a "vague, uncertain and ambiguous" aesthetic concept. It is common sense...
