...victims of crime more often than other age groups. But the effects are much more severe. If a young woman is knocked down during a purse snatching, she gets up with a few bruises. If an 80-year-old woman is knocked down, she could suffer a broken hip, have to enter a nursing home, and risk losing her independence...
...least some of their clothes. Women's Wear Daily promptly trumpeted the return of the mini. In fact, it is not. Skirt lengths, like their wearers, will continue to come in all altitudes. Neither do the new, higher-hemmed styles resemble the thigh-flashers of the hip-hugging mini revolution. Perhaps reacting to Paris' long, sizzling summer, the designers of the new short look have genu- flected toward comfort, stressing coolness, looseness, flounce...
...take care of him; he's like a chubby rodent that senses when to burrow and when to flee. Alan Stock plays a jittery boy with a cramped intelligence. His Joey is more attuned to emotions than is Murph: the taut nervousness in his shying gait, as though his hip joints were connected to his insteps by elastic bands, seems to stem from his sensitivity to other people's sadness.

...mouse on Thorazine. Taking time out to sing "I'm Calm," he shows he's as cool under fire as barbecue sauce in a heat wave. Andy Borowitz is on target too, in his characterization of Lycus, a gentleman and procurer. He adds just the right dash of street hip, and being skinny with black moustache, owes more than just a nod to Groucho in his delivery. Vincent DiBenedetto, Marc Johnson and Philip Murray take their bit parts (they sing triple as Lycus's eunuchs, slaves and the soldiers of Miles Gloriosus) and polish them until they gleem...
Though a satirist, Emett is a gentle one, with a high regard for human fallibilities and amenities, as well as for cats, birds, butterflies and flowers. What makes the Sussex Merlin all the more remarkable is that he can use a welding torch and glue. With tin, antique doorknobs, hip baths, umbrellas, bicycle parts, lamp shades, stained glass, saucepan lids, Victrola horns, ear trumpets, soup strainers, miles of wicker and wiring, he transforms cartoon fantasies into whispering, whistling, wheezing, whirring, gothic-kinetic machines that work, but mostly play. And mock...
