...long discussions, I guess, but on the other hand China's transportation system is pretty varied. There are no privately owned cars; the buses and trolleycars in the cities are jammed, though people insist on giving up their seats to foreigners. The trains between cities are beautiful, with lace curtains and swivel chairs and stewardesses serving tea. But since not many people ride the new American 707s or old Russian planes with ventilation systems that let in the clouds, their schedules are pretty flexible. You call ahead about the flight and then wait at the airport till the weather...
Arsenic and Old Lace is opening tonight at Leverett House, which by now has a long tradition of good productions. 8 in the Old Library, McKinlock Hall.

...Illinois truck driver named Jerry Menozzi, has 1,400 beer cans in his basement, including a Monarch that his great-grandmother kept for decades in a drawer with her lace underwear.

I am reminded of the blooper committed by a TV announcer promoting the showing of the play's film version: "See Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman in a Cot on a Hot Tin Roof...
Kerr's is a performance full of remarkable detail right down to a special wide-stanced uneven gait, and the black-bordered and lace-trimmed handkerchief in which he sequesters Olivia's ring. His celebrated yellow-stocking scene is severely marred, though, by the absence of the prescribed cross-garters. What's the idea of trying to make do with a pair of ordinary bow-knotted circlets around the knees when the text refers nine times to cross-gartering? F'shame...
