...Copywriter Ed Graham Jr., 27, who has written elaborate biographies for each of the brothers, and talks of them as intimately as if they had all attended P.S. 3 in Flatbush together. Graham explains that Blatherskite Bert is patterned after a retired Young & Rubicam account executive, is "a compulsive pain who can't help stepping on people." Hesitant Harry is modeled on Artist Jack Sidebotham, who drew the brothers, but also bears a marked resemblance to Ed Graham. Envious of Piel's success, two other breweries are planning similar cartoon commercials...
...hours later nine of them were dead, and 55 were writhing in pain in hospitals. Next morning 27 more did not show up for work, and police began searching empty lots and alleys for their bodies.

They took one or two deep breaths and the child was born." Added Perle: "They used the same brainwash for the mothers that they used for the war prisoners and soldiers [see SCIENCE...
...stupidity for the times when she is confronted by a stronger will. Only during a few seconds--while skipping blithely around the stage--does her characterization crack. Andre Gregory, as her seducer, is less successful, partially because he is smooth and sneaky at the beginning, instead of developing from pain (at the loss of his gin) to suspicion. Colgate Salsbury plays the crude, calculating husband with his usual energy, and a great deal of success. Although his Southern accent fluctuates enough to consider forgetting it entirely, rapid delivery expresses jarringly the hard personality which inhibits and crushes his wife. Like...
