...Glass Flowers, it is all for appearance, a collection of delicately made specimens of a certain type of life. The Man of Mode is very much of its age, not for all time. In this limp-wrist world, the winners win by virtue of their wit, and the losers lose for having the bad taste to display jealously -- a situation which confuses our twentieth-century sympathies. Furthermore, Etherege wrote the play to please an ingrown audience -- it would recognize friends and celebrities among the characters. If the playwright had been present last night he would no doubt have gone around...
...Thanksgiving Day, 27,000 fans streamed out of Harvard Stadium after watching Boston Latin lose to Boston English 20-18 in the traditional football battle between two ancient high school rivals. Many of the spectators crossed the Larz Anderson Bridge into Cambridge, intent on taking MBTA subways and buses home. But the buses and subways could not handle the sudden influx at once, and as the largely teen-aged crowd backed up in Harvard Square, it turned into a surly mob.

Adopting a controversial scheme that began in the South, the corporation also plans to finance some plants with tax-exempt bonds...
Undeniable Claim. La Vida asserts this point with overwhelming strength. The Ríoses are trapped, trapped among other reasons by force of habit, even by inclination-"Hey, I'm proud to be poor!" says Simplicio-and once this occurs to the reader, he begins to lose interest in them. They are, to begin with, not very interesting people, unlike the Sánchezes, whose brotherhood to all humanity constituted a claim that no one could deny...
