...sharp stuff with songs-but in her case the book and staging sabotage what character establishment she gets from the lyricist. Mankiewicz has seen fit to define her by use of the word "shit"; and, by surrounding Meredith with men in the number "Just for the Ride," director Peter Hunt turns the character from the sophisticated, bitchy slut she should be into a tramp. Meredith is not a charming human being, but neither is she filth...
...warrant an embassy. As L.B.J. bluntly put it, when someone proposed abolishing a commission without any apparent purpose: "I need jobs for slobs."

As a result, De la Fuente has returned to his wildlife research, leaving...
...tumbled out of a nest, later proving, while still an owlet, his general incompetence in such matters by repeatedly walking off the edge of a table. Too little to be abandoned once more to the hazards of the woods, he stayed, ate eagerly and soon learned to fly and hunt. He also solved the family cat and dog problem. Chirring fiercely, he fixed them with a furious yellow stare and threw a hex on them. "The animal which looks back at you with two eyes at once," maintains Service, "tends to stand high in the local food chain...
