...scenes in Portia's Belmont, Ed Wittstein has designed an outdoor garden setting dominated by an enormous tree branch with leaves of -- you guessed it -- gold. Portia appears in a peach gown (designed, like all the other costumes, by Jose Varona) and carrying a parasol. It is not long before we realize that this Portia, in the hands of Barbara Baxley, is a thoughtless, superficial woman, and probably frigid to boot.

...discommode 95 people to root out the other five." Established in the days when Southerners paid their bills once a year when the cotton "came in," Rich's credit department patiently lets people pay when they can, never tacks on service charges. In 1951, when Georgia's peach crop was ruined by cold weather, the store ran a full-page ad in the Atlanta Constitution. It showed an empty peach basket and noted: "Rich's understands.
