Flair for Marketing. That was before an enterprising Spaniard named Isaac Carasso began turning it out commercially during World War I. In 1929, in Paris, he opened a plant named Danone for his son Daniel, and called its product "the Dessert of Happy Digestion." Success was modest until the mid-1950s, when Danone caught the public fancy. In 1958, in the Paris suburb of Plessis-Robinson, Danone opened the world's largest yogurt factory, where 350 workers are able to turn out 1,600,000 pots (211,000 quarts) of yogurt a day, seven times as much...
...Pays. So much for history. Aiming his serves like a golfer lining up putts, Charlito blasted Santana with "the Bomb," kept him unmercifully on the run with delicate lobs and volleys, swept the first two sets 10-8, 6-3. Rain interrupted the match for 15 minutes, and the Spaniard, refreshed, took the third set 6-2. Then Pasarell dug in.

...unspeakably good. He has wisely used current Americanisms to give the language the proper effervescense and irreverance. To render the play in early twentieth century American would have been a gray business: nothing is as dead as dead slang. Senelick's greatest triumph is his version of a Spaniard (Daniel Deitch) speaking English. Gerund endings are assiduously dropped where they should be; b's and v's are assaulted with appropriate force...
Francine Stone presents a fine cameo as the chambermaid, as does Raye Bush as the wife of the hotel keeper. Miss Stone's encounter with the Spaniard's wife (Amanda Vaill) is one of the most skillfully done of the numerous incidents connecting life in the insurance broker's apartment and the people at the Pretty Pussy. When the women unconsciously exchange what they are carrying -- Lucienne's parasol for Eugenie's pail -- we are reminded of just how much fraud we are seeing...
