Marathon retains the neighborly image of a small-town firm. It has begun to offer cash refunds to customers who write in with legitimate gripes about service in its stations: one man asked for his gas money back because the attendant neglected to wipe his windshield (complaint accepted), and one woman wanted back the $2.50 that her son had put in the vending machines (accepted). For Jim Donnell, 55, who spends more than half his time jetting to inspect his many outposts, success has its disappointing aspects. He feels most at home down by the old mill stream...
...huge laughs on such lines as "Let copulation thrive;" "Ha! Goneril, with a white beard!" (to Gloucester), and "Let me wipe it (my hand) first; it smells of mortality." is difficult to imagine, but Mr. Carnovsky accomplishes it.

...stormy town meeting with the piquancy of listening in on the party line to real-life drama. "Oh Larry," begins one mother's voice, "my boy's been on the bottle for the last 2½ years; what am I going to do?" Another caller wants to wipe up the Viet Cong, the next discusses self-hypnotism, a third knocks himself out with his own imitation of Bobby Kennedy, and then along in the wee small hours comes a dope addict, who swears he would have committed suicide long ago if Larry had not made him feel that...
...delegates to the Palestine Liberation Organization's National Assembly in Cairo could hardly believe their ears. From President Gamal Abdel Nasser, they had expected the usual blood-and-thunder oratory they have heard from Arab leaders for the past 17 years-a harangue on the need to wipe Israel off the face of the earth...
