...Cruelest Jest. The stage is set for the extramarital affair, frequently the office romance. The office romance thrives on contiguity, opportunity, and the fact that love feeds on shared experience. The man looks across the desk at this sweet young thing, and she stirs memories of playful erotic tenderness before he pulled on the heavy, encumbering armor of duty and responsibility. Whatever the wife is doing on her rounds, the husband and his secretary are doing something in common that draws them intensively closer, whether it is planning an ad layout or drafting a new skyscraper.

...France in return for Consten's promise not to handle competing brands. Grundig thus sewed up a $14 million share of the French consumer electronics market. Free from competition, Consten could sell Grundig products at markups as high as 50%-double what German retailers were getting.

The American Recorder Society now boasts...
...scenes. He manages to seduce his ex-wife with a display of chest-pounding that would hypnotize a flower. Vanessa Redgrave, who plays the ex-wife and won the Best Actress award at Cannes for the performance, is, incidentally, transfixing in her own right. She is puckish and bitter-sweet in everything she does. Kissing her would probably be like taking a swallow of ice-cold grapefruit juice. If you don't want to bother with the symbolism, you can watch Miss Redgrave and have a fine time...
