...reviews Jesus Rediscovered, by Britain's Malcolm Muggeridge, whom he finds weak on God and grace, but "brilliantly funny on their adversaries the world, the flesh and the devil. Fiat Nox (let there be night) he sees as the first commandment of the modern world." In lighter vein, Lee tells us that he has found a name for the small house in Italy that he and his wife Essie have bought from an actor named Arnoldo Foa. Since the place has only a sometime well, and awaits a regular water supply, Lee calls...
Most authors approach the subject of France inductively, offering, like a Parisian épicerie, small, spicy dabs of this and that so that the whole, though piquant, is rarely filling. In one sense, Sanche de Gramont writes in the same vein. Tidbits of throwaway intelligence pop to the surface of his book like croutons in a steaming onion soup. The word bourgeois first appeared (as burgensis) in a 1007 charter establishing the free city of Loches. As a result of Versailles banquets, Louis XIV's stomach was found at his death to be twice normal size. The French Foreign...
...ideal container for prodigal America is the edible ice cream cone. In this vein, there is now much talk about "bio-degradable" bottles and cans. But a container that would quickly dissolve when discarded or immersed in water has yet to hit the market.

The Rigello bottle, though, does not actually dissolve. According to its makers, it can be crumpled easily for tidy discarding and eventually rots...
...rehersals knows the perfection of his control of the theater from light board to script girl; his exultation in his own unchallenged command of the mannerisms of theater people. His energy, now revealed as anger, as self-pity, as melodrama, never flags: any needle in any vein to keep the show alive. He is the supreme impresario, diverting his own eyes and the world's from himself to his creations. If he could put King Kong on stage he would. As director he has no respect for the conventional limits of stage and theater. All the world is a prop...
Heroin is usually injected directly into a vein or "mainlined," and it soon slows down vital functions. A large enough dose will stop them altogether. Yet it is often difficult to determine the exact cause of death. Dr. Milton Helpern, New York City's chief medical examiner, says that there is no clear evidence of simple overdose in the great majority of heroin deaths. Instead, 90% are caused by what he calls an "acute reaction" to the drug or its adulterants. "We don't like to call them overdoses...
