...Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has now ruled otherwise. An IRS investigation, said that court, is the kind of hearing Congress had in mind when it provided for fees. The fact that the Robertses were being investigated is irrelevant. Result: the Robertses, who live in Hollywood, Fla., will have to be paid 10? per mile for the 20-mile trip to and from the IRS office in Fort Lauderdale. And they will get $4 a day for every day the hearing lasts. Presumably, the same balm is now available to anyone who is called in for a going-over...
...Dance, for example, was inspired by a Derain painting, which was itself inspired by a photograph of off-duty soldiers in a dance hall. Somehow, after the chicken liver and the matzoh-ball soup at a family bar mitzvah, the idea for the painting jelled in Kanovitz's mind. Any resemblance to Derain-or for that matter, that particular bar mitzvah-is almost coincidental. The head of one lady is mounted on the shoulders of another.

The flight to which McGuire transferred was supposed to be a dangerous one. Its pilot, since given other duties, carried the sobriquet of "Mr. Magoo." It landed safely...
Anyway, the show blew my mind a little and consequently coherence isn't going to be my strong point tonight. The lovely girl who shared with me a pair of tickets the management so kindly offers to critics kept reminding me how ghastly it was to have to see a great show from a reviewer's seat, making constant mental notes and evaluations on the spot all over the place. But I resisted and refuse to be objective. I know the people who made this Everyman. I've worked with most of them and I love them: partly because...
