What to make of these terrible twins -"those two poofteroos," as the contemptuous inhabitants of Sarsaparilla see them? At first sight, it would seem that the old Confederate camp had moved to a last site in the real Deep South-Down Under; that the old Spanish-mosstroopers of Southern decadence ride again in New South Wales. White's celebrated style, in its sidelong, suggestive, subjunctive way, might nudge a reader to the conclusion that this is like early Capote or Tennessee Williams. And, somehow, White has contrived to convert a scrubby Australian suburb into standard Old South gothic. Moldering...
Jean-Lue Godard's A Woman is a Woman, the first film in the aniversary series, seems highly atypical of the New Wave at first sight. The use of color and cinemascope depart from the amateurish, low-budget style of Breathless, and the large number of interior shots violates the New Wave maxim of "on-the-street" shooting. But these departures only point out the most important tendency in the New Wave movement: the willingness to experiment with any style, any technique, or any location. Godard uses his camera with the same abandon that characterized Breathless, and in his hands...
Even Olivier was entranced, although he admits that he loathed Look Back in Anger at first sight. "The second time I saw it," he recalls, "the scales descended from my eyes." He went backstage, asked the playwright if there was a part for him in his next work at the Royal Court. Replied Osborne: "I don't know. Possibly."

Thus Sullivan students at first learn only the sounds associated with the consonants f, m, n, p, t, th, and the short forms of the vowels a and i. Then they learn, purely by sight, a few such basic words as yes, no, on, the. With this equipment, when they turn to their readers they can read short sentences, sounding out such words as ant, man, pin, thin. In the first seven books, which average first-graders will complete in a school year, they learn roughly 375 words by sounding them out, often using clues offered by simple cartoon-like...
...handsome in its vertically fluted steel and blue-grey enamel over coating, the structure looked like a new office building. Yet it contained not a single office - or, indeed, any room of any sort. The structure was simply a shell, set up for the specific purpose of shielding from sight and insulating from sound a drilling rig on Pico Boulevard...
