...Lowell House production does this admirably most of the time, but has a tendency to mix, or imperfectly finish its conventions. The third act opening (where the play stops because seven of the company are struck with botulism) is magnificent and hilarious because the whole company, especially Beck and Jamie Rosenthal (playing a Miss Somerset playing Sabina, George Antrobus' maid and quondam mistress) degenerates from high flown symbols to grumbling Loebies. The switch is drastic and devastating...
...become concrete deserts where only autos and auto parks seem to thrive. If he is a businessman, the cost of inefficiency may be high. A 65-m.p.h. train can move steel slabs from the furnaces of Lackawanna, N.Y., and deliver them still hot at an Indiana rolling mill, but mix-ups and wrongly thrown switches sometimes cause freight cars to get lost for as much as seven weeks. High-speed, $15 million ocean ships lie idle for days in port while they are loaded by means of archaic slings. No less an authority than Najeeb Halaby, former head...
Sharp Angles. The basic formula for success remains unchanged from Alicia's day: a skillful mix of local, national and foreign coverage, almost always clearly and concisely written. Newsday's reporting of state politics, for example, is consistently more searching than that of the New York City dailies.

Bottled soft drinks are so commonly accepted that the Japanese substitute them for barley water as warm-weather refreshers, upper-caste Indians serve them at wedding receptions, and Middle East businessmen offer them to visitors as an alternative to Turkish coffee. Europeans mix their whisky with ginger ale or lemon-lime. White Rhodesians have a fad on for brandy and Coke. Zambian copper-belt workers, who once paid threepence for a home-brewed raspberry drink, now pay sixpence for "sophisticated" sodas. Everywhere, increasing ownership of refrigerators has lifted soft-drink sales. In Hong Kong, U.S. brands hold...
...Lovin' Spoonful are four shaggies in their 20s who trade in "goodtime music." The most versatile of the new groups, they mix hard rock and country, funky blues and jug-band music. Biggest Spoon is John Sebastian, who, with Zal Yanovsky, a grinning zany in a ten-gallon hat, handles the songwriting. Joe Butler works out on drums, Steve Boone on the bass, guitar and piano. "Together," says Sebastian, who is the son of Classical Harmonica Player John Sebastian, "we make up about one fairly efficient human being." There are no protests in their songs, just new and often...
