...Wednesday, the Dennis tricks saved a so-so show-the faucetlike crying, the stumbling over lines, the vocal tremolo between laughter and tears. Reviewers were almost separated from their critical faculties. John Chapman of the Daily News closed his mash notice by pleading for Mrs. Chapman's forbearance. Walter Kerr, then of the old New York Herald Tribune, led off simply: "Let me tell you about Sandy Dennis. There should be one in every home...
...When we started playing, man, they forgot all about Viet Nam." It was Jazz Pianist Earl ("Fatha") Mines crooning as he and his cool, cool sextet finished up a six-week gig around Russia. After inviting them, the Soviet government did everything it could think of to mash the smash-even going so far as to cancel scheduled performances in Moscow and Leningrad.

After plumbing assorted precedents, the students informed the defender that the agents indeed had "probable cause" for the warrantless invasion: the mash smell was detected by their own trained noses. Such experiences have persuaded Gabriel to become a prosecutor, Shapiro a criminal lawyer...
...hurl myself into the breach in defense of Paul Ricard, inventor of the finest drink since sour mash [Feb. 25]. Your reporter, probably an undercover man for the W.C.T.U., has slandered the drinking man's Thomas Edison in saying that ice added to Ricard's pastis turns the licorice into a gooey glob. I modestly claim the record for annual consumption by an American of this delightful brew, and have yet to find a single glob in any of my well-iced drinks. Retract your calumny against this benefactor of mankind...
