...Smooth. For hulking Gough (rhymes with cough) Whitlam, 56, the campaign was his second since taking over the Labor Party leadership in 1967. Smoother in garb and in gab than most of his country's politicians, Whitlam sometimes strikes down-to-earth Aussies as being too smooth by half. One of his own party members complains that he is a "distinctly middle-class intellectual with both a prickly personality and a captious turn of mind." He also has a renowned temper. In Parliament he once dumped a glass of water on a member of the Cabinet...
...Restic wants a publicity film for "Ivy Football--Canada Style," all he has to do is take the film of the first quarter against BU. It was Restic's style played to perfection. And it was beautiful. The Crimson attack, choreographed by Eric Crone, was smoother than a preppy's pick-up lines. The pieces dropped precisely into place.

...control but bad engineering decisions. In effect, the faults are designed into the cars-unintentionally to be sure -by engineers making the wrong compromises between safety, cost and speed considerations. In the current case, Ford redesigned its 1972 Torinos and Montegos, making them heavier for the sake of a smoother ride, yet engineers thought that they could safely hold down costs by using the same axle as the one that went onto the 1971s. Richard Judy, public relations manager for consumer services, admits: "Maybe all factors were not given careful consideration...
...album and said, "Here, you'll like this." He couldn't have been more correct. "All Day Music," the title cut, starts the album off, and like most of the other songs it is based on a percussive, African rhythm. The various instruments interweave creating a sound smoother than the finest silk. Voice adds to voice until the listener is confronted with a solid wall of harmony. The whole song just fits into a nice, easy groove. The song really conveys the feeling of lazily lying around the grass on a beautiful spring day in California. It's beautiful...
