last week went 100,000 copies of the Democratic Party's convention program, probably the slickest of its kind ever run off a press. Bound in hard white linen, bordered with a tasteful gold line, and bearing about as much resemblance to the G.O.P.'s run-of-the-mill convention program as an expensive Shakespeare folio does to the program for the Slippery Rock-East Stroudsburg football game, it will be available for purchase when the Democrats convene in Atlantic City...
...well go down in history as one of the game's enduring mysteries. On paper, they are practically the same club that won the National League pennant last year and swept four straight from the New York Yankees in the World Series.

The usherettes, however, are exceptional. In other words, "She Wou'd If She Cou'd" is not the slickest show to hit Cambridge this year, but it has its moments and makes do pretty cheerfully...
...twelve-year-old daughter, his cynicism is total, like love or war. Life and people are all frauds, he tells the nubile new secretary (Carol Rossen) who falls half in love with him, and in a world of phonies the way to win is to be the biggest, slickest phony of them...
