...charges, Georgiev remained in the service of the imperialists. Promptly at 9:30 a.m. on the first and third Friday of each month, he would switch on his radio and slip open his code book. All he really had to know was a little classical music. If the mes sage was preceded by excerpts from Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto, it was genuine; if it began with parts of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, Georgiev knew the message was a ruse designed to foil would-be counterspies. For a while, Georgiev played Name That Tune like an expert. Then...
...Lerner sulked silently in Hollywood. "The draft is in pretty good shape. I've seen plays go into rehearsal in worse shape. But the stuff isn't there. We need a script and the score." He insists that "the partnership will continue." There are still some love-mes as well as love-me-nots on the daisy...
This last item, to their credit, Messrs. Frith and Cerf detected in the corpus of Fleming's work, and they pounce on it, with the highest of spirits and the greatest of glee.

Barth's own examination of this message is garrulous, eye-wearying, and studded with trackless deserts of scholarly foot notes. "Barth is just about the most gabby person that ever hit Christendom," grumbles Robert Hannen of Berkeley Baptist Divinity School. But Dogmatics...
...equal terms. "The other countries don't observe the rules as rigidly as we do," warns one executive. "They always have a few little gimmicks-such as tax rebates to exporters-to give themselves an extra edge." In the broad generalities of his State of the Union mes sage, Kennedy seemed to take most of these reservations into account. But it will be the dollars-and-cents specifics of the President's program that determines how much U.S. business is confirmed in its growing allegiance to free trade...
