...remaining two hours of Juno are generally undistinguished, except for a refreshing lack of the sleaziness and greasiness which still stain most musicals. The major trouble is book trouble: Joseph Stein's script, with its long scenes of aimless small talk taken largely intact from the play, is a monument to misguided fidelity. Mr. Stein has already been chewed out by O'Casey's admirers for associating himself with a huge job of lily-gilding. It seems to me, on the contrary, that what Juno needs is fewer drab, limp petals, and more bright fresh gilt...
...Finest Day. Still haunted by the dubious legality of his World War II Free French movement, De Gaulle was determined that this time nothing should stain the legitimacy of his power. (If the rebellious generals seized Paris by force, he told a subordinate, "they will not find De Gaulle in their baggage.") But to achieve power legitimately, he needed parliamentary approval, above all, that of the Socialist Party.

Words like "swell" and "so's your old man"? If so, my friends-ya got Trouble...
...emphasis on speed and convenience has attracted millions of new customers. The oldtime mudpacks have been replaced by Pond's 37-second face cream; Mrs. Potter's walnut-juice stain, a turn-of-the-century hair dye, has given way to Roux's five-minute hair rinse. The squeeze bottle and the aerosol container have revolutionized the use of old products, led to new ones, e.g., hair spray, which has grown to an $84 million business in only seven years...
