...wrote Bored of the Rings? It is highly suspect that during a summer when the Lampoon ground out its second Time parody, recorded its Surprising Sheep album, and ran at least one candidate for the mayoralty of New York, these latter-day Barnums could also have published a 160-page paperback. First editions do claim to have been authored by "Henry N. Beard and Douglas C. Kenney," who enthusiastically confess in a chatty little Forward how they overcame being 'handicapped by near-fatal hangovers and the loss of all our bodily hair (but that's another story).' Another story, indeed...
...load of that- that is the plot of the most recent play to open on Broadway. You can pay eight dollars to see it tonight in New York. It has a star (Geraldine Page), a pretty set, and cost $150.000 to put on. It opened Thursday night: with any luck it will run through next week: with a lot of luck. it will be sold to the movies.

Even the U.S.S.R. puts up more housing than the U.S., though the Soviets' prefabricated apartments are so cramped and shoddy that most would be unrentable to middle-class Americans. George Romney, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, calculates that new housing in the past four years has fallen more...
...enunciating the cheek. One eye, large and black, opens in a tentative expression. The other one tightens in its scrutiny of the viewer. Rembrandt again blurred the features in a third state. Now the eyes are of equal size. And an arch scratched in at the top of the page brings de Jonghe forward. Finally Rembrandt cut deep shadows into the cape grabbing the focus away from the face. And the print seller becomes an able cosmopolitan...
