THAT bit of advertising copy took up less than one-eighth of a page in the Sunday New York Times. But by 7:30 Monday morning, people were falling into line for a show so long awaited and so much talked about that advertising was almost superfluous. By noon, the line stretched along 51st Street, turned the corner at shuttered Lindy's onto Broadway, headed uptown, rounded the corner again and began backing up into 52nd Street. The first day of box-office take for Coco, which starts previews next week, was a record-breaking...
...think you can have too many friendships," she once said, "and I certainly don't think you can have too many amours. If you can wait around for someone who means something to you, it's the most rewarding experience."

It is an arrangement...
...Less Conclusive Conclusions. Like all parody, his is ultimately a critique of the conventions he is parodying. In one disarming aside to the reader, Fowles argues that the Victorian novelist, aided by his assumed omniscience, patted life into artificial patterns and robbed characters of reality. While the Victorians believed that "the novelist stands next to God," Fowles takes his stand next to Godot. He proclaims that the novelist's first principle is the "freedom that allows other freedoms to exist," namely those of his characters. To illustrate the point, he twice ties up his narrative strands in tidy traditional...
