...virtues of the Phoenix Theater's lively production is that, as staged by Stuart Vaughan, it keeps a happy balance, values its martial clang and stir, sets broadsword heroics against tankard humor, and is never for a moment a one-man show. But it is no less a virtue of the current production that Eric Berry's robustly nimble and resourceful Falstaff is by all odds the play's best-acted role. Donald Madden's Hotspur is properly dynamic too, though it substitutes mere energy for fire and dash. As Henry, Fritz Weaver makes a well...
Such a directive was bound to stir a storm of protest. It did. One outraged parent sent State Tax Commission President Joseph H. Murphy 2?. Others complained that it is hard enough to teach teen-agers the merits of earning their own way, let alone have them subjected to the discouragement of tax collection on every penny. Warned the New York Times, only half humorously: If tax officials persist, they "may find that they are fostering juvenile delinquency, cutting car production, plunging parents into the captivity of their progeny...
Unofficial entertaining or dining out is almost unknown to them-every spare moment belongs to the kids. On Sunday nights the family frequently eats supper at the Columbia Country Club, the one place in Washington where the arrival of the Nixons does not set off a stir.

Observed he: "You know exactly what is expected of you at the workhouse. You eat, sleep and work, and that's about all of it. The federal system has too many bureaucrats. I always had the unexplained sense of great eyes watching me. And they go in for psychological brainwashing...
...figure that part of January's total is a carryover from November and December, it looks like a 6,100,000-car year, not too different from 1959." Chevrolet Boss Ed Cole, setting out with a phalanx of salesmen on a two-week tour to stir up dealers, quickly made his choice. Said he: "1960 promises to be one of the best selling years in history, and a record breaker for Chevrolet. We expect Chevrolet dealers to sell about 1,500,000 conventional passenger cars, 300,000 Corvairs and 365,000 trucks. Such an achievement would represent an alltime...
