Perhaps the entire difficulty revolves around the fact that many of the New Frontiersmen simply are not smart enough to keep up with the rapidly moving intricacies of Mr. Stevenson's exceptional intelligence. Frontiersmen through the ages have repeatedly demonstrated more courage than cogency. It is unfortunate if their courage is buttressed with such tenacity that they are unable to recognize good judgment. I am reminded of the thought that good judgment is achieved through experience-and experience most frequently is the product of bad judgment...
...Government says it needs both controls because smart farmers got around simple acreage controls by pouring on the fertilizer, producing more per acre, then selling it at the generous prices backed by the Government. That, as usual, cost the taxpayer a scandalous amount of money. Through controls on how many bushels a farmer can sell at top support levels, Freeman claims he can save some cash...
...Lombardi's contract still has three years to run at Green Bay. And neither the adulation nor the covetous eyes of other clubs have changed his ways.

...most excruciatingly funny anatomy of melancholy on Broadway. His wife has just told him that in advanced middle age, he is about to enter second fatherhood. Ford trumpets his dismay: "When he gets out of college, I'll be going on 83-if he's smart." Never Too Late is a one-gag all-night laugh show. That it can be unflaggingly sustained is a marvel. Much is owed to a genius of slapstick farce, Director George Abbott. Abbott has willing and extremely winning helpers. As Ford's wife, constant listener, chief cook and sole housekeeper, Maureen...
