...being tallied, made a speech which was a startling departure from his usual profane tirades (TIME, June 15). "I ain't mad at anybody," Ole Earl purred. "If that's the way you like it, I don't know what else I can do. Go home, think it over, and let your conscience be your guide. Thank you, good luck, and God bless...
...growing supply of fans, just one song would be enough. Last week, when Felicia ended her run and went home to Brewster, N.Y. for a vacation, the Bon Soir's owners could think of no better time to shut up shop and take a vacation themselves. Where would they find a summer substitute for Sanders? Worse yet, where will they find a substitute in the fall?

Plato's famed metaphor of the cave (in The Republic) makes a cruel point: men see shadow and think they see substance. The image is brutal-cave dwellers chained underground from childhood, unable to see anything except fire shapes on a rock wall, never suspecting the existence of the objects that cast the shadows. When one of them is dragged into the open air and forced to stare first at the objects themselves, then at the agonizing reality of the sun, he fights to disbelieve his senses. So, when their hidden natures are thrust into the light...
