...borrow a method which Balzac refined the physiological portrait, readers are known to be solipsistic, irritable, and insomniac; their version of the world is invented in sacerdotal studies where late at night, the loud voices competing about the lavish midnight supper tables described in Falubert's Sentimental Education in Balzac's Los: Illusions in Zola's Nana rise above the roar of traffic down in the street. Thin urban, and afflicted with nervous habits, the reader has to "put on spectacles" (and, with rare exceptions, defective in such natural endowments, he does wear spectacles) to reduce the blur which contemplation...

...most criticized aspect of rescue missions is the almost universally required attendance at worship services, a sort of sing-for-your-supper attitude But mission directors insist that their spiritual work is far more important than the food and shelter they offer "Christ spoke to 5,000 people all day before he fed them," says Jerry Dunn.

Carved Toggles. Often in the West, miniatures compel the worthless gawking one reserves for Last-Supper-carved-on-a-peach-stone kitsch. Not in Japan, where the image and the scale were one-partly by a happy fluke of social pressure. The Imperial sumptuary laws forbade merchants and samurai to wear excessively rich garments, so male vanity expressed itself in three special kinds of objects: inros, the tiny compartmented cases for carrying seals, or later medicine; netsukes, the carved toggles that fastened the inros to one's sash; and tsubas, or sword guards. The amount of craft lavished...
...irritating thing is that the devisers of this production do not leave Weill enough alone. Arbitrarily, the show has a shipboard setting, and a tedious commentator. Donald Saddler has staged the numbers as if they were supper-club turns. The cast has fine voices, but the collective air of bouncy innocence somehow belies what is worldly, skeptical and melancholy in Weill's mental tone. This is Weill without tears, and it misses the distilled suffering that makes some of his music so affecting...
