...jokes about skinny Frank Sinatra disappearing when he stood sideways kicked around for years. Now, of course, the not-as-thin-as-he-once-was man is married to an even wispier creature, Mia Farrow, 21. In Paris to pick up some frocks for her role in a spy film called A Dandy in Aspic, Mia wryly told a New York Times reporter: "I started wearing shifts, dresses without waists, about five years ago. I really have no waist. I'm kind...
...story of course oozes whimsy. The broader humor of Larry Gage's Lowell House production comes across fresh and funny. Toad (John Sansone), who regrettably is far too thin for a toad, bounces around the stage, bubbling, buzzing and boop-booping his phonic fantasies of motoring. Water-rat (David Baughan) and Mole (Carla Barringer) playfully "mess around the river" while a chorus of small, furry animals endears itself...
...Finley, however, is not perfectly content. Within each of his two roles are tensions and ambivalences. And, the tendency over the years has been for the Master character to shove the Professor character off stage, to the regret of the latter. "I sometimes think I've scattered myself too thin," reflects Finley, who is now 63. Twenty-five years ago, he was a meticulous scholar.

...14th novel, Wright Morris recounts a day's events in a small Indiana town just before a twister hits. As a slice of life, the book is thin indeed, and coming from Morris (The Field of Vision, Love Among the Cannibals), it is exasperating. The familiar elements are there: the pointless plot, the Twain tone of Midwest innocence and irony, the fey and the freak who get caught up in the drama. Morris has used them all before, often to great comic effect. This time he has barely bothered to construct more than the outline of a story, leaning...
...industry in 1951 - only to be driven from office eight months later, partly because it had muddled the steel industry so badly. The Tories put most of steel back into private hands. When he took over as Prime Minister in 1964, Harold Wilson tried to renationalize steel with his thin majority, but retreated when he saw how perilous ly close the vote would be. Last week, with a healthy majority assured since the March 1966 elections, the Labor Party finally had its way. By a vote of 306 to 220, it rammed the nationalization bill through Commons. To most Britons...
