...Detroit crony, Frank E. Fitzsimmons, under the title of general vice president. Chubby and smiling, Fitzsimmons will have his hands full trying to keep the Teamsters' regional rivalry from re-emerging. "He's just a peanut-butter sandwich," said one union official. "He'll melt in no time...
...developed for commercial use, and its production of electricity from oxygen and hydrogen without burning hydrocarbons may be one answer to the smog problem that is increasing all over the world. Some scientists are already speculating about giant orbiting mirrors to light up a battlefield in Viet Nam or melt icebergs, free ice-locked harbors and shift storms from their natural courses. Weather control, to hear them tell it, is almost at hand...
...short, economic interests have displaced ethnic interests. But sociologists insist, with some justice, that this new melt in the melting pot extends chiefly to the political and economic spheres.

Also visible behind the potted palms and spiral staircases is Director Peter Glenville, impersonating Playwright Feydeau. Glenville as Feydeau wears a wise, conspiratorial expression, presumably to suggest that middle-class morality can be terribly droll. But Glenville as Glenville hasn...
