...Coward's languid worldlings endlessly assert that they are bored, irritated and weary of it all, the playwright gives them so much verve and vitality that they seem instead to have a fierce crush on life. The evening is permeated with the spirit of the '20s, gin-high, half-naughty, half-emancipated, free-souled and free-bodied-not the least piquant aspect of which is the decision of the two leading ladies to play their roles throughout sans bras...

The U.S. may be entering an unprecedented, fairly prolonged period of high interest rates...
...figures chiseled out of Etruscan boulders include a 19-ft.-high elephant crushing a warrior in its trunk, a giant dismembering a man, a goddess with each pubic hair clearly delineated, and a 20-ft. satanic head whose mouth opens into a large chamber. These overwhelming creations are 50 miles north of Rome. It is known only that they were carved between 1555 and 1585 at the command of Duke Pier Francesco Orsini...
