Shaw could be even more malicious to "the terrible Charlotte" herself. In an unsolicited bit of analysis, he once wrote her that she was "the lier-in-wait, the soul hypochondriac, always watching and dragging me into bondage, hating me and longing for me with the absorbing passion of the spider for the fly." There was neither close intellectual camaraderie nor sexual passion between them. But once they were married, Shaw grew to depend heavily on her protective, intelligent presence. A gifted hostess, Charlotte became as well an acute, sympathetic critic of her husband's work and even helped...
...your haw-haw-lier-than-thou reviewer's damning with faint puns Peter De Vries' Through the. Fields of Clover: for such a pun-stirrer to grind up De Vries' meaty message with half-witticisms of his own seems in wurst possible taste-particularly in such a notorious quip-joint as TIME...
...backlands battles were even dead lier because they pitted government troops and supporters against a tough garrison commander and some soldiers still loyal to longtime (1933-48) Dictator Tiburcio ("Bucho") Carias, whose Nationalist Party also opposes Lozano.

The discovery of the diaries came at an adventitious moment (a fact that stirred cynical memories of similar "discoveries" about Irish rebels at an ear lier date). The Greeks, of course, cried forgery. But even the portion released by the Colonial Office to bolster their case hardly justified the interpretations some London papers gave...

Boeing made only 56 Stratocruisers for civilian customers. Net loss: $15 million. In 1948 more troubles piled up. This time they came from a bitter, 144-day strike by the Aero Mechanics Union at Seattle. Boeing wanted to revise wartime seniority provisions that prevented it from shifting workers and thereby cutting costs. The union said no, and 14,000 men went out. Civic groups in Seattle...
