...folksiness. "She is not the least bit conceited. She behaves very naturally, she ate what we ate," reports Marina Fausti, fashion editor of Moda. "She was very nice with everybody," says Gilles Tapie, who has done the best Stephanie photos so far. He caught a nice kind of regal raunch for a cover and bathing-suit layout in Elle, and reflects, "She's short for a model, and she's not a beautiful girl. She's muscled in the arms . . . She could be a boy with her short hair. But when she's in a bathing suit in front...
...taking a point of view is to underline the play's presumption that history is made by men, not social forces: he ends many scenes with one or two figures frozen in silhouette.

At the North London Transfusion Center, the Prince was asked whether he was homosexual...
...hopping to some music only the brilliant Alec Guinness can hear. As Fielding busies himself with Aziz's defense, Godbole's comment is merely "You can do what you like, but the outcome will be the same." The other is Mrs. Moore, Adela's traveling companion, almost comically regal at some moments, uncannily vulnerable in others, but always touched by mystery as Peggy Ashcroft delicately plays her. Mrs. Moore enters only one cave, then reels out of it, having confronted her own mortality. Later, when people try to draw her back into the muddle to testify at Aziz's trial...
