James Mason smacks and snuffles his way through the fevered minds of Andrea del Sarto, Fra Lippo Lippi and the tomb-haunted bishop in Poetry of Browning (Caedmon) in a reading that can illuminate a character with a sigh...

He knew what was wrong with Pontiac; it had a "grandma image" in the customer's mind. He wanted to change it so "teenagers would shout, 'Cool, man, real cool.'" The 1957 Pontiac was only 30 days from pilot production, just 60 days from volume production. Walking around the car, Knudsen announced abruptly: "Let's take the silver streaks off.
