...Greeley Square store, with its two subterranean floors of bargain basement for subway shoppers, was an immediate success. On the strength of it, Bernard Gimbel took another chance. In 1923 he negotiated with Horace A. Saks to buy Saks's 34th Street store as well as the Fifth Avenue site where Saks was planning an uptown store. The negotiations took place partly in a railroad baggage car, where the two men sat atop an empty coffin and talked business. Saks's Cadillac-class merchandise now accounts for half of Gimbel Bros.' earnings...
...times as large as the one in the old Met. The main stage, 100 ft. wide, 80 ft. deep, is bordered on the sides and rear by motorized stage wagons. In a dazzling display of sleight-of-hand, the main stage can drop 28 ft. into the subterranean storage chambers and emerge with a teahouse, garden, bridge and cherry orchard all ready for Madame Butterfly's entrance. Meanwhile, the three wagons can be loaded with upcoming scenes and wait to glide into the center-stage slot at the push of a.button. For other effects, the backstage Merlins can conjure...
...part, the phenomenon grows out of what Indiana's Democratic Senator Vance Hartke calls a "national guilt complex" over the assassination, a sort of politics of expiation whose chief beneficiary is Bobby.

Finally four men, who had made their way separately to the tower building through subterranean passages or by zigzagging from building to building, decided to storm the observation deck. Three were Austin patrolmen who had never been in a gunfight: Houston McCoy, Jerry Day and Ramiro Martinez, who was off duty when he heard of the sniper, got into uniform and rushed to the campus. The fourth was Civilian...
Full obituaries for all the corpees on the album would be too painful. A couple more failures may be mentioned, both of which try echoing past successes. "Obviously 5 Believers" has the word-obliterating background of "Subterranean," but has a subject less suited to chaotic rendering: a bluesy "baby, please come home" message that seems to justify the song's format, a blues repetition of each stanza's first line. But, as always, Dylan has bad luck with the blues format. The license for repetition seems to attract him to lyrics more banal than usual, when what is needed...
