...shirt, altogether a more relaxed and assured-looking figure than the leather-jacketed, unkempt Dylan of old. The hair, once long and wild, was now relatively short. A wispy mustache and thin beard had been added. When he came on, he was greeted by applause that sounded like the roar of surf from the nearby Channel...
...fully exploiting the resources this highly schematic text provides. Paul Schmidt as Job is the closest to being at ease with his part. His job is subdued, as incorporeal and introspective as any Job could be. Something must be done, however, to rescue his lines from the engulfing roar of the turning platform to which he is pinioned in the second act.

Couturier Yves Saint Laurent ordered a gold plated copper cast made of Model Veruschka's bosom, slipped it over a mannequin, and sent her down the runway; it was one way to top off a skirt.

Sales last year rose almost 50%, to $44 million, and profits reached $6 million. For every dollar of sales, the company spends 450 on promotion; that is 180 more than it spends on the can and its contents...
...broad lawn, while a Berlioz march thundered from loudspeakers. Some women wore mink stoles; others were in frantically color-splashed pants suits. Folded Yiddish newspapers protruded from the pockets of some of the men. While President Leonard Lief conferred the degrees, jet planes from Kennedy Airport soared overhead; the roar of traffic and elevated trains, punctuated occasionally by the shriek of sirens, filtered through the spring-fresh foliage of trees surrounding the campus. There was only passing allusion to dissent in the address by Larry C. Dillard, senior-class president and a Negro. Dillard cited widespread poverty, "the horror...
