...stimulant and is used to flavor gin. And Artemisia, or wormwood, is an essential ingredient of vermouth. Martinis may not have been served at King Arthur's court, but wormwood undoubtedly found its way into the royal flagons. In the permissive Middle Ages, Artemisia was known ambivalently as Lad's Love and Maiden's Ruin...
...bright high-school student who falls in love with Emily next door, marries her, and loses her during childbirth. Having graduated from Harvard eight years ago, he has now turned 30; but the years have been kind to him, and he has no trouble passing for a lad half his age. He comes by his accent naturally, since he was born and raised in Goffstown, New Hampshire, which is near add not unlike the Grover's Corners that the Stage Manager so precisely pinpoints as to longitude and latitude.

...there at the top of the Nielsen ratings with CBS's Rhoda, whose star, Mary Tyler Moore's old sidekick Valerie Harper, has a following of her own, and Archie Bunker's crew in All in the Family. That is not bad company for a lad who is barely out of his teens, and got his first professional job little more than a year ago as a stand-up comic playing to an off-season crowd in a Puerto Rican resort hotel. Actually, Freddie Prinze is the sort of kinetic, compulsive comic who is and always...
