...last summer in I Henry IV. Ray was better as Prince Hal, but I have seen many a worse Henry V. He looks right for Henry, but he does not (despite the use of a following spotlight) exhibit the dazzling aureole the part needs. His diction is clear and pleasant, but his voice is not always equal to the task given. Before the siege of Harfleur, his "Once more unto the breach" harangue does not ring as it ought; it is a clarinet instead of a clarion (but it is still an improvement over Laurence Harvey's weak effort with...
...years between were relatively drab for Boros. Big, placid and pleasant, he has long been one of pro golfs sturdy citizens, playing a good but unspectacular game. He went home with $37,032 in 1952, the first time he won the Open (sportswriters called it a fluke), and took $63,121 in 1955. But he made only $5,595 in 1953, $5,358 in 1956, and in 13 years on the tour he won only nine tournaments. As he got older, it began to look as if he might not win another.

"In this little book," says the preface to the 1939 edition of Married Love, "Dr. Marie Slopes deals with subjects which are generally regarded as too sacred for an entirely frank treatment." Many a young heart thrilled with pleasant astonishment at Dr. Slope's revelation that "most women ... do at times feel a physical yearning indescribable, but as profound as hunger for food." Generations of schoolboys have plowed eagerly through the verbal thickets of Ideal Marriage, whose author, Dutch Gynecologist Theodoor H. Van de Velde, could write: "As the grade...
Serialized Sex. The Labor Party rallied for battle with enthusiasm. Returning from a week's visit to Moscow and pleasant if futile chats with Khrushchev about disarmament, Labor Party Leader Harold Wilson hinted he would produce new evidence this week to show that Britain's security system was breached. He had good reason for confidence: the Daily Mail's National Opinion Poll gave Labor its biggest lead ever: 69.2% to 19.8% over the Tories...
