...ANIMAL SUNDANCE, CHECK LISTINGS If George Orwell had read??US Weekly instead of Marx, he might have written this savage cartoon satire rather than Animal Farm. A band of talking beasts escapes a secret British facility and pursues the idea of freedom--shaped by a diet of tabloids--which consists mainly of getting record deals, obsessing over celebrities and making a pile of money.

...there was a "moment" in the extravagantly long evening, it came when George R. Lunn, onetime Lieutenant Governor of New York, lifted his voice above a typewritten document which few but himself had read???a letter from "Al" Smith. Governor Smith was absent if for no better reason than that Mrs. Smith's appendix was just out, but his presence was announced by a demonstration brief and sincere. None interrupted with conventional shouts while Mr. Lunn read: " . . . The declaration of party principles might well be tentatively drafted at the earliest possible moment. . . . In the heat and rush of the Convention...
