...poetry itself that Reuben Brower demonstrates in "The Poetry of Robert Frost--Constellations of Intention." Spears has just as many cross-references as Brower, and he seems to know the poetry, just as well. But criticism of poetry, if it isn't dynamic and fascinating, makes some of the stickiest, dullest reading on the shelf. His cataloguing approach to Auden overwhelms Spears' writing from time to time. The comprehensive listings hopelessly obscure the spirit of Auden's poetry: nothing emerges except the critic's wide knowledge...
...second largest shoe manufacturer: Monte E. Shomaker (pronounced shoemaker). Shomaker, 57, has been one ever since he went to work in a Brown factory at 14. A no-nonsense production expert who specializes in cost cutting, he replaces Clark R. Gamble, 69, who will continue as chairman. The stickiest problem Shomaker faces is an antitrust ruling requiring Brown to sell the G. R. Kinney Corp., a 360 shoe-store chain that Brown acquired in 1956. Brown wants three years to accomplish the unstitching, but the trustbusters are pushing for a six-month deadline...

As the Economist, one of the mess's more moderate critics, puts it: "If the ministers cannot answer for what their ministries do, then parliament is not in a position to control the executive; and the German Federal Government the facade...
...long-term...governmental development projects," but fails to mention anywhere that the U.S. Government itself will be incapable of long-term planning unless the President's foreign aid bill, under scrutiny in the House at this moment, is passed. Nor does he deal thoroughly enough with perhaps the stickiest wicket in American investment abroad: precisely how the investors should go about cooperating with foreign governments...
...Eyskens, who pushed through his emergency economic bill-the hated Loi Unique-against the opposition of many of his own followers. With Eyskens gone, the Socialists were ready to compromise, even agreed to accept some of the Loi Unique's tougher provisions, such as an increased sales tax. Stickiest question was whether the Social Christians would agree to the release of the hundreds of Socialistled rioters who had been jailed in the January rioting. No, said Lefèvre, but he appointed a Socialist as Minister of Justice so that paroles could be expedited...
