...moonshiner's community, coal smoke rises in thin gray wisps from stovepipes that jut through corrugated roofs. The houses are mostly unpainted clapboard decorated with weathered old Camel and Chesterfield signs; many are on stilts. The yards are strewn with empty cans, bottles, cartons, boxes. Chickens peck around them and in the meager patches of corn and tobacco plants. At the moonshiner's cabin, the approaching car sent two barefoot girls scurrying to their mother, who in turn summoned her husband. His face was a study in seams and his hands were encrusted with years of grit...
...suited for political theatre performing for an audience looking for yuks. The second act, however, goes over better. Margery Cohen's readition of "That's Him," from One Touch of Venus, is impressively suited to Ogden Nash's lyrics. Lanning runs into trouble, however, with his "September Song." His jut-jawed, toothless version is obviously patterned after Walter Huston, but comes out sounding so much like Al Jolson that you expect him to genuflect and cry out "Mammy" at the end. Cohen and Lander do a witty, sultry, perfect interpretation of Langston Hughes's lyrics from Street Scene...
Only three years ago, Barry Goldwater Jr. was a blue-eyed, jut-jawed version of his father-but with a reputation built more upon swinging than politicking. Since his election as a Republican Representative from California, he has settled down and indeed is about to marry.

On affairs of state she says, "I am very conservative politically...
...both a Cartesian and a sensualist, Matisse wasted nothing. Feeling, for him, included a great deal that flat paint could not convey-notably the awareness of thick, monumental volume, of the thrust and jut of shapes by which human frames state their energy. The proper vehicle for this was sculpture, where volume is real and not-as in painting-illusion. The result, despite the small scale that Matisse preferred in works like Reclining Nude III, was the most Michelangelesque collection of sculpture that any 20th century artist has produced...
Robbie was kidding but Shula was not. On the first day of practice, the jut-jawed coach startled everyone by chewing out Quarterback Bob Griese, the dimpled blond star of the team. Accustomed to the easygoing ways of former Coach George Wilson, the players were dumbfounded when Shula announced that there would be four practice sessions a day, beginning before breakfast and lasting until nightfall. Overweight players were fined $10 for every pound in excess of what Shula determined was their "optimum performance level." When 250-lb. Running Back Larry Csonka was ordered to trim off 15 Ibs., he sputtered...
