...realism. The revelers sing so drunkenly that at least about half of the scene is completely unintelligible. The real problem, though, isn't that similar bits aren't funny (though they often aren't), but that they don't contribute to the more intricate and restrained development of the main action...

Dimly distinguishable in the half-light, two dozen or more toga-clad figures are arranged in random fashion around 14 raised platforms, lushly carpeted and joined together by a narrow walkway. Ghostly music emanates from unseen speakers; colored lights flicker over the ceiling and walls.

Though the fields are now being worked by outside labor, oil should eventually alleviate chronic unemployment among the state's 270,000 residents, whose two main occupations are fishing and working at the U.S. military bases. The state government will collect a 12.5% royalty in the form of oil, which it will sell to processors for the profitable petrochemical trade that they already conduct with Japan. Eventually, oil will mean far more to the state than gold, of which about $750 million worth has been mined since 1880. Only $760,000 worth...

...Blooming Grove, Ohio, "Winnie" Harding went in for nothing much more strenuous than tootling his B-flat cornet in the band. After five minutes of shucking corn, he gave it up for good, "saying it was too hard." At Iberia College-now Ohio Central College -his main interests were "debating, writing, and making friends," desultory preparation for the desultory professional floundering that followed...
