When it isn't lost in a silly maze of plottage, Gypsy bursts into songs that are tonic and tuneful, most notably Ting-A-Ling Dearie. What Besoyan should have done was junk the show and release the cast recording...
Chester Alan Arthur decided to modernize the White House, had 24 wagonloads of furnishings carted away; lost in the housecleaning, along with much junk, were priceless antiques dating back to Monroe. Arthur called in Louis Comfort Tiffany to redecorate in the current rage, the florid art nouveau. Among Tiffany's contributions was a huge opalescent glass screen in the entrance hall.

T.R.'s special contribution to the White House decor was an extensive remodeling in the restrained neoclassical style...

Joining the art faculty of the University of California at Berkeley, Voulkos and two fellow teachers organized a foundry on the junk-strewn east shore of San Francisco Bay.

The public insists on calling its chief product junk, but this affront has not prevented scrapmen from making millions by marketing the oddments that other people throw away. To the steelmakers they sell rust-worn barbed wire from the farms, torn-up tracks from the railbeds and used appliances tossed out by housewives. They move mountains of junked cars into grasping incinerators that burn off paint, cushions and fixtures, then...
