It is a futile hope: in a drunken stupor, the father tries to kill the boy with a meat cleaver. Yet beneath the coarseness and brutality, each member of this oddly pitiable, oddly humorous ménage à quatre is reaching out for love...
...meat cleaver of sudden death on Broadway hit Oliver Hailey in 1966 when his play, First One Asleep, Whistle, a lumpy porridge of marriage and adultery, closed on its opening night. Hailey, 35, does not believe he could have survived the blow to his playwriting morale except that he had already completed Who's Happy Now?, over which he had brooded for ten years.

Liberalized-trade advocates compared the Orderly Trade Act proposal to the restrictive Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act of 1930. Secretary of State Dean Rusk, in a rebuttal that skillfully invoked diplomacy and the dollar...
...Belgrade, a furniture company was saved from bankruptcy when fire destroyed its antiquated- but well insured- plant. In the town of Pirot, a money-losing rubber factory, also insured, went up in flames. In Bosnia, a meat-packing plant mysteriously burned down...
