...pink villa, a vineyard keeper found Brigitte unconscious beside a well. In the beam of his flashlight he saw Brigitte: "Her eyes were closed, her teeth slightly parted, and her arms were red with blood." It was her 26th birthday-and it ended up in a neurological clinic in Nice, where the diagnosis was barbiturate poisoning, plus slight wrist lacerations. Brigitte's periodically estranged husband, Cinemactor Jacques Charrier, far off on the other side of Southern France, in Biarritz, where he had gone after their latest spat, jumped in a car to drive to her side.

...putting its bad apples at the top of the barrel and its milk of human kindness inside Pernod bottles, Irma La Douce endows its harmless story with a nice tingle of iniquity, even a certain mixture of sweetness and bite. Now and then the gags and goings-on go sour, or the story droops: Nestor-Oscar, for example, outwears its welcome.

Brooke, the first Negro in the Commonwealth to run for state-wide office, and Augustus Means, the extremely young-looking Junior Chamber of Commercetype candidate for Lieutenant Governor. There was someone to please everybody, and it was a not unattractive lineup...
...religious ideas. He raises unanswerable questions-including some that are universal and unanswered on either side of the Iron Curtain. His modest hero Rabinovich at the labor camp has dug up a dagger with a handle shaped like a crucifix. "How do you like that?" he asks. "A nice place they found for God-the handle of a deadly weapon. Are you going to deny it? God was the end and they turned him into the means-a handle. And the dagger was the means and became the end. They changed places. Ay-ay-ay! And where...
