...normally a dish of simple, boiled food-this time macaroni imported from Italy and rice. Every evening without fail, Sadat schedules two movies, mostly American westerns; he watches them, usually alone, in his pajamas. He leads an ungaudy life, really, but Sadat's comfortable residences and stylish clothes-as well as his glamorous wife-have drawn disapproving mutters from the public...
...Broadway's Roundabout Theater is a place where neglected plays of classic playwrights come out of hiding. The current season, the Roundabout's twelfth, began with a stylish production of Shaw's You Never Can Tell, a playful skirmish between the sexes that is all jests and no scars.

Denson has designed a stylish, magazine-like tabloid filled with canned features from syndicates and wire services, graced with an aggressively pro-business editorial page and almost devoid of breaking stories. Saffir defends that formula, which was first presented in a June 27 preview edition, on the grounds that the city's three major dailies...
