...comes complete with theological endorsement by none other than Harvey Cox. Godspell's Christ is part clown, part mime, and an all-around song-and-dance man. His is not to tread the weary way of the Via Dolorosa but to hoof instead down the memory lane of Tin Pan Alley...
...airline industry has been swept by a Jetstream of rumors for weeks that the Pan American World Airways board was locked in a bitter intramural fight over the company's top management. The 23-member board had even scheduled one meeting and then postponed it, ostensibly because not enough directors could attend. Thus, when newsmen learned that the directors had finally gone into session last week, ten of them rushed to Manhattan's 59-story Pan American Building.

That will save some money, and many of the layoffs were reportedly made to convince Wall Street...
Because the particular problems of a labor camp inmate, like the particular problems of a heroin addict, are not like any other predicament they are especially difficult to portray. Solzhenitsyn conveys the prisoners' destitution by alternating between dead pan description of bodily pain and cowering before nameless authorities, and emphasis on the miniscule occurrences that bring relief from suffering. Ivan finds a hacksaw blade, gets a little tobacco, and uses his favorite spoon. These few moments in Ivan's day when he feels he can do something that he wants to do punctuate the bleak narrative description of camp routine...
