...quite so strongly, few but Thomson's Sunday Times, which had Tony in the bag, could resist sounding off. The London Daily Sketch puckered with a mild case of sour grapes: "Lord Snowdon sharpens his artistic genius for readers of the Sunday Times." Cassandra (William Connor), London Daily Mirror columnist, was moved by amusement: "Now Tony Snowdon, as the Observer calls him [to Cassandra, Tony was 'a royal Dicky-bird'], has flown from Kensington Palace to the jungle that is Fleet Street.

Hearst hastily formed an "employment exchange" which was designed to land...
...actual score among the daily critics when they reviewed Subways Are for Sleeping was three negatives (Kerr, Taubman, and John McClain of the Journal-American) against three positives (Watts, Chapman, and Robert Coleman of the Mirror), with the World-Telegram's Norman Nadel hanging in the air. Said the real Kerr: "Limp." Quoth the real Taubman: "Stumbles as if suffering from somnambulism...dull and vapid...
