Couldn't you have kindly conceded that this charming champion of the theater has brought delight to thousands of theatergoers, given work to throngs of thespians, and made a place in the sun for worthy playwrights?

The higher-price lines have also added bigness and luxury without substantial restyling. Mercury has grown two inches to 18.3 feet. Buick's Riviera shucks its triangular front-vent windows in favor of a single pane, also...
