...ready for this? I'm sitting there at midnight bending a coat hanger, putting nose tissue on it to make a Christmas wreath for the door. You know what it looks like? It looks like a coat hanger with tissue that is going to melt when it rains. It's a desperation you cannot imagine. I had a husband who worked at his job until 7 and 8 p.m. taking care of other people's children. That's when I remember reading Jean Kerr, who would sit out in her car and hide, reading...

Your otherwise brilliant Essay on Star Wars weapons is fatally flawed by the omission of one critically important fact: the Soviet Union launched a crash program 14 years ago to develop space-age weaponry, notably particle and laser beams designed to melt ICBMs in their silos or in flight. If the U.S.S.R. is first with this type of capability, would the Kremlin not use its monopoly to impose its political objectives on earth? We cannot assume that Moscow would behave the way the U.S. did when it enjoyed an atomic monopoly for a brief period after World...

Said Uemura's wife Kimiko...

...dialogue, which becomes a sort of merrily muttered accompaniment to the main comic theme. It was, of course, wonderful to watch the meltdown of Rex Harrison's icy aplomb in the original, and one cannot expect that of Moore; there is only a half-pint of him to melt. But the range and control of his facial expressions are a joyous astonishment, and the Ministry of Silly Walks should declare him a national treasure. Kinski too is back within her best range, cheerfully sexy instead of glumly sultry. In short, Unfaithfully Yours is faithful to comedy's best...

...heart attack; in Chapel Hill, N.C. A pioneer of political commercials (for the 1952 Eisenhower campaign), he preached against mere "show window" ads that win art-direction awards, emphasizing instead a product's "unique selling proposition." Samples of his credo at work: ads for M & M candies ("They melt in your mouth, not in your hand"), and Anacin ("Fast, fast, fast relief...
