...There must be at least half as many ways to play Shylock as to play Hamlet, and most of them have been tried. Max Adrian gave us an unsympathetic Shylock--bitter, gloating, sadistic. Adrian is constitutionally incapable of doing a slipshod job; and this was a notable performance. Morris Carnovsky's unsurpassable portrayal last summer was an extraordinarily complex one; and it was no reflection on Adrian if he could not match it. Adrian's Shylock was simpler and more straightforward, and wholly consistent. And he adopted a faster tempo than most actors, avoiding exaggeration and the temptation to make...
...liquor distillers, wholesalers and retailers last week heaved a mighty sigh of relief. After a long, bitter industry fight, the whisky business finally had a new set of excise tax rules.

McVay was convicted but with a recommendation of clemency. The conviction was soon set aside...
...told that Adam and Eve spoke English? Not necessarily. As Author Jacobs points out, German, Hungarian, Swedish, Celtic, Danish and Basque scholars have all proved to their satisfaction that their respective language was the one spoken in the Garden of Eden. A 17th century Englishman demonstrated that the language must have been Chinese, since a newborn baby's first yell is the Chinese word...
