...medical and scientific community of the day, this was utter nonsense. If true, it meant that cancer (at least in fowls) was an infectious disease, and everyone "knew" it was not. More likely, his critics scoffed, Rous had inadvertently let some cancer cells slip through his filters. With infinite patience and persistent good humor, Dr. Rous extended his work to other kinds of tumors in different species of fowl. A quarter-century later, the late Dr. Richard E. Shope followed his lead and produced virus-induced tumors in rabbits. By now, half a dozen mammalian species carry viral cancers...
...well as B.M.C. have cut work weeks to four days. B.M.C. Chairman Sir George Harriman announced that 12,000 employees will be laid off early next month, "and it does not appear that they will be taken back again." Angry workers have responded with wildcat strikes, and union leaders utter dark warnings of slow downs and more work stoppages...
...since the fall of 1946, when Harry Truman hardly dared utter a word in public for fear that his own unpopularity would rub off on exposed Democratic candidates, had a President remained so sequestered from a national election campaign.

Their comments on the officials and the hawkers were full of logic so well whittled that its point disappeared; when they came to a bit of merchandise they had heard of they often bought it with a grand flourish, thus recommending its advantages and their expertise to friends. Most of them were feeling the gorge of possessive passion that comes when one is first deeply convinced that he is going to Harvard...
Though their playing has exquisite style, Caine and Newman merely provide teatime treats in this slice of Victorian gingerbread adapted from the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson and his stepson, Lloyd Osbourne. Director Bryan Forbes (King Rat) reveals an unexpected gift for utter nonsense, using every period cliché and corny camera trick that might imaginably be fermented into vintage black comedy. Some of the gags crumble on impact, others are stretched out like taffy, but there is enough fun left over to leave most moviegoers happily wallowing in greed, sex, homicide, body snatching and other nefarious diversions...
