...more and more thoughtful people are objecting to the triumphal last act, the closer it seems to be. The reason for this lack of excitement at the by-now ritually invoked vision of material Utopia is that it has been held out too often. Today, at least in wintry moments of perception, it comes on as overblown and unconvincing as a TV commercial...
...listening to a joke is not really listening; he is impatiently awaiting his turn to tell a joke of his own. Everybody knows that husbands give half an ear to the discourse of their wives-and vice versa. Why do these highly disciplined attempts at human dialogue fail? The reason, says Abraham Kaplan, a professor of philosophy at the University of Michigan, is that they are not really dialogues at all. Before a conference on human and animal communication at Minnesota's Gustavus Adolphus College this month, Kaplan introduced his own word for all those human occasions when everybody...
Rocky Mountain spotted fever got its name for the good and simple reason that it was first identified as a distinct disease among residents of the mountain states.

Their parent, Atlanta Municipal Theater, had already run up a deficit of $300,000 and could continue no longer at the center. The reason was partly financial mismanagement and partly over-ambition. The Theater had kicked off its season with a superproduction of John Dryden and Henry Purcell's 17th century opera King Arthur, which simultaneously showed off the opera, ballet and dramatic companies. It cost $250,000, but it drew enough...
