...meals I began to feel really free and happy, sort or high. It's a little like drugs, only better because you know you're not hooked on anything. Your body blends with your environment and your mind floats free of your body. You forget about food. You stop worrying alxiue all the terrible, sensual habits that take so much time. You're free to work...
...crisis may not be quite "a watershed in human affairs," as Adlai Stevenson calls it, but the whole U.N. experiment has come close to collapse. There are uncomfortable parallels with the disintegration of the League in the 1930s: failure to stop aggression (then it was the Italian attack on Abyssinia), withdrawal by members (then Japan and Nazi Germany).

...dozen women lodged complaints at various French police stations, but the police did not take them seriously, and Huu remained toe-loose and fancy-free.

Hall had to cut his speed to 10 m.p.h. But the Ferrari was having trouble too, gave up with four hours to go. The rain stopped, and the race...
Newley's Littlechap, in Stop the World, stood for a shallow, self-seeking Britain. The show was simple and amusing enough to rest successfully on its pantomime and song, but the simplicity disappears in Greasepaint. Littlechap, has become Cocky (Newley) and Sir (Cyril Ritchard), who, dripping with social symbolism, play The Game (of Life, get it?). The winner of each game writes the rules for the next one, so Sir, having won the first game, imprisons Cocky in a vicious loser's circle...
