...Mood for Love, along with many other hits and scores for movie and Broadway musicals; of a heart attack; in Beverly Hills. His father wanted him to be a plumber, but Jimmy had other ideas, and by 1921 he was on Broadway's Tin Pan Alley turning out Hinky Dinky Parlay Voo and Lone-somest Girl in Town. In 1928 he scored his first musical, Blackbirds of 1928, which contained I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby...
...finest plays. Williams has been overwhelmingly a man of feeling rather than thought, a disciple of the heart's reasons rather than the mind's reasonings. The emotional proposition at the core of The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is undeviating: life is an undeclared war. As Williams has dramatized it, that war is conducted on two fronts. The lacerating confrontations between Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski, between Big Daddy and his son Brick and Maggie the Cat, are blistering barrages of domestic car nage.

They suddenly discovered upholstered chairs instead of logs, porcelain plates instead of tin cans ... silverware, firm ground, women, bright colors, music boxes. The clean, fragile people around them in the town were tense; they walked in odd bursts of nervous movement and talked too quickly...
...Type 1" -and to the rest of the world as "the beetle." The builders of the bug are less exultant over another statistic, however. Type 1, first manufactured in 1945, has already exceeded by five years the 19-year production span of Henry Ford's Model T-the Tin Lizzie that old Henry kept on too long, until it nearly carried him to ruin. Demand for the beetle remains strong, but VW fears getting stuck with a museum piece. Its solution: to become a German General Motors, offering a wide variety of models for different tastes and budgets...
