Lewis noted that a lack of tenderness has always characterized the poetry of the city. He quoted numerous English and Irish ballads, speaking with Midland and Irish accents when appropriate, to show that the street song is more often comic or dramatic than tender. "The golden age of innocence and love was in the country," he said. He added that if using the street ballad as social criticism requires "marking the literary muse into the literary prostitute, I'm in favor...
...actors. Anthony Quinn--well, sooner or later he had to play a grizzled Greek. He's always looked like Zorba the Greek should look. In this film, he is so hearty that all the dour faces in a waiting room break into responsive chuckles when he laughs; so tender that he can console the courtesan for the loss of her lovers, the English, French, Italian, and Russian generals; so defiant that after a mine he has attempted to open collapses, he shakes his fist at the obstinate mountain and vows to conquer it.

...title represents the time allotted to a forward looking Nazi shrink (Rod Taylor) for extracting Allied invasion plans from an American intelligence officer (James Garner). His plot: drug Garner, then convince him (with a most elaborate hoax set) that he has had amnesia for six years, is in the tender loving hands of victorious Americans, and can only regain his memory through a "therapy" which consists of telling everything he can remember--i.e. the details of D-Day strategy.

...sugar by 1968. Rhodesian farmers have cleared 75,000 acres in the humid Hippo Valley lowlands of elephants, lions, buffalo and the tsetse fly in order to plant sugar. They still have not solved one problem: at night, hippopotamuses clomp out of the nearby Zambesi River, bed down on tender sugar shoots and crush them. Even the world's longtime sugar producers are working to fatten yields. Brazil, where sugar has grown in the north for 400 years, is converting many unprofitable coffee areas to sugar in the southern states of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Parana...
...preferred risk. At least he has a sword. All Wegner has is a rope-wrapped once around the bull's midsection and twice around his own left palm. Jolted into action by spurs or an electric cattle prod, goaded by a buck inducer (a rope tied around its tender parts), a maddened bull will rear, buck and spin-at the rate of two turns a second. To be a hero, all the cowboy has to do is to stay on the bull's back, gripping with his hand and knees, for eight seconds and then bail...
