...merely superb dancers, at least there is the consoling virtue that it does not matter much, except to close students of the dance, which ballerina is seen in any particular performance. And no U.S. company, lacking the Government subsidy that makes Russian ballet the most pampered of proletarian arts, can provide the costuming and scenery that creates the magical illusion of that not-now-and-never-was world, where the lovely princess does not spend her honeymoon water-skiing but soars to the sky on seemingly gossamer wings-with no political complications whatever...
...half of its deposits and credits, today account for only 18% of deposits and 15% of credits. The bank's assets have grown to nearly $1 billion, making it Germany's fourth largest bank. Some of this rapid growth has occurred just because of B.F.G.'s proletarian background. Union officials sitting on corporate boards have provided the combination for getting many industrial accounts into the vaults, and much of the bank's foreign business has been initiated through union contacts all over the free world...
...seized power in majorities, but De Gaulle's well-schooled lieutenants eased them out with a mininum of bloodshed. De Gaulle went out of his way to insult the Communists publicly, no matter how bravely they lad fought in the Resistance.

Instead, Dahlberg, now 63, became a poet, essayist, and shrewd, contentious critic who once said that he blamed T. S. Eliot "for nothing except the books that he has written." He calls Because I Was Flesh "an auto biography of my faults." It is the story of his first 46 years and of Lizzie, his mother, a Kansas City lady barber "with dyed...
...precarious paradise-beleaguered from without by The City, source of the commuter's money, and by proletarian Parthenia down by the railroad tracks, from which emerge teen-age toughs, rapacious plumbers and reefer-smoking baby sitters. It may be attacked from within by moral failure. Felicity is threatened by the second wife, the third mortgage, the fourth child, or the fifth martini. In Proxmire Manor, as in Eden itself, the penalty for sin is banishment-but only to the next town. The angel at the gates may be a suburban bank manager or may appear, as in The Wapshot...
