...Peter Hope was even worse. Suave, suntanned, handkerchief in his sleeve-embodying, as the Observer wrote, "the Foreign Office's distrust of the whole notion of press relations"-Hope applied his cool diction to reciting the food consumed by Eisenhower and Macmillan ("Charentais melon, sole Duglere"), pausing to spell out words down to and including m-e-l-o-n for the benefit of reporters...
...summer shows pointed up the fact that abstraction reigns supreme in the hearts of the nation's young artists. To make a great abstraction is difficult-perhaps even impossible. But passably assured and decorative examples are fairly easy to produce, and juries-under the spell of trend and times-tend to award them their prizes.

...screechingly (turning on the afterburners) are High-school Harrys. Well-dressed and popular men are cool dads and hard cats. But the answer to every coed's prayer is a king or snow job. Many a coed, dating up a storm, gets snowed (or sewed) for an infatuated spell called snow time (if her king is too cool, she may have to shovel out the snow). During this romance, only a bad-mannered gnome or mullet would try to hook a snake (ask for a date with the snow king's queen). But should some crude dormitory barbarian...
