Actually you can. The crafts required live on. People in Europe and the U.S. still build paneled rooms and beveled-glass entryways. They have, in fact, built a good many of the lots in this auction. At the back of the hall Marty Duffy of Ely, Iowa, and Roger Wandrey of Portland, Ore., watch in bemused silence as the intricate glass clusters and stained-glass domes that they made are sold. So do not weep for the little old lady whose oak-paneled inglenook - so cozy with a gin and bitters- is now going to be part of a restaurant...
...Moonraker, the first James Bond film since 007 producer Albert Broccoli released The Spy Who Loved Me two summers ago, Roger Moore proves that his two-time failure to live up to Sean Connery's characterization of the super-spy is more the fault of poorly written dialogue than Moore's often overdone tongue-in-cheek manner.

At one point, the quartet is upstaged by a duck named Hermione who is put on the piano. A delirious discussion ensues about whether or not the duck will fertilize it. Be that as it may, the evening is well fertilized with laughter...
...though, avoided mention of the indelicate word. Jim Ruddle, anchorman at Chicago's WMAQ-TV, used the term posterior, and Tom Brokaw of NBC'S Today show mumbled slyly about a "three-letter part of the anatomy that's somewhere near the bottom." CBS's Roger Mudd alluded to Carter's remark without quoting it directly, but a copy of the New York Post's anatomically correct front-page headline was projected on a screen behind...
