...software: the racially balanced TV news team, the English butler from Duluth's elegant Garfield Heights section who asks a visitor, "Whom shall I say is calling she?" and the ludicrous prose of costume romance-"Beryl flares her nostrils inadvertently, an effect not unlike that of a pomme soufflée getting its second wind."

It would be pleasant to think that what Bartel did for love could be redeemed for money, and a chance next time to make...
...think of nothing more socially responsible to do with their millions than throw garish, three-month-long coming-out parties [Dec. 21], I'll bet they're all supplyside, trickle-down, cut-school-lunch-program Republicans. What about the poor? Let them eat leftover crab souffl...
