Chandelier-swinger Eaton Brooks said that he was "not ashamed of what I did," went on to explain. "We had been drinking for two straight days, with no sleep and a liquid diet. We weren't the same people we are today. I agree that someone has a moral obligation about this damage, but I don't know who is responsible for the atmosphere that caused what happened at the party...
...acting, Richard Burton's performance is a technician's marvel. His voice has gem-cutting precision and he can outroar Times Square traffic, though he lacks the liquid melody that Gielgud supplies as the voice of Hamlet's father's unseen ghost. His hands punctuate the speeches with percussive rhythm and instinctive grace. He is virile, yet mannerly, as sweet of temper as he is quick to anger, and his wary eyes dart from foe to friend with the swiftness of thought...
...delay-free smoothness of the launch was largely because Titan II, a practical, dependable military rocket, does not use troublesome liquid oxygen. Instead it burns storable liquid fuels (a mixture of hydrazine and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine with nitrogen tetroxide as oxidizer) that are "hyper-golic," ignited spontaneously on contact.

He has great emotional range. On Davs of Wine and Roses, his tone was liquid, and smooth as marble; on Miles Davis' So What, he spat and screamed in a breathtaking solo. Watanbe (who is really good enough to play with anyone) had excellent support: the melodic, unpretentious piano of Brian Cooke, Saltonstall's bass, and Billy Elgart's drums. Trumpeter Ken Houk still has problems making...
