...disagrees, and he has every right to patronize stores in Central Square if he chooses. However, his individual opinion about what he perceives to be a diminishing grade of one-on-one customer service in the world-at-large was only written to deliver a highly personal, vindictive rant, apparently as revenge for a specific incident. Accordingly, his opinion lacks any redeeming value for your readers-at-large...
...BRISTLE-JAWED COVER PICTURE OF Gingrich reminded me of an advertising jingle that adorned the country's roadsides about 50 years ago: Does your husband misbehave Grunt and grumble, rant and rave Shoot the brute some Burma Shave It's worth a try. JOHN C. HARRIS Fulton, Missouri...
...last week the House Speaker seemed to revert to the bomb-throwing, publicity-starved backbencher he was in the 1980s. On Tuesday night, with a partial government shutdown at hand and his deficit-reduction plan heading for a Presidential veto, he charged onto the virtually empty House floor to rant about the budget before C-SPAN cameras and a handful of junior members.

Works during the 1950s by other so-called Angries--novels by John Wain (Hurry on Down) and John Braine (Room at the Top), the plays of John Osborne (Look Back in Anger)--no longer excite much...
DIED. MAXENE ANDREWS, 79, singer; in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Reduce World War II to three voices, and the choices are obvious: the rant of Hitler, the rumble of Churchill . and the single, seamless sound blended from the warble of the Andrews Sisters: Maxene, Patti and LaVerne. The trio first flew up the charts with 1937's bilingual Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen, a Yiddish ditty infused with the giddy, jivey spirit that followed G.I.s around the globe. Wartime hits included Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (1941) and Rum and Coca-Cola (1944). The 1967 death of LaVerne ended the Andrews Sisters' career...
