...order to bring off an Embarrassment Drama, its actors must be perfect masters of tenement realism, capable of perfectly shaping quiet moments as well as completely uninhibited crises. They need to maintain an appearance of complete fidelity to the surface of lower-middle and working class life. (A life-sized statue of Lloyd Warner will be awarded to anyone who can tell the lower-middle from the working class without a scorecard.) In this second offering of the pre-season season at the Charles Playhouse (the season opens later this month), a group of good actors, capable of many fine...
...perhaps the greatest Tory asset was Harold Macmillan himself and the general post war image of his party which he has helped to create in the public mind.

Thus, the state university directly attempts to attract students that could not afford a private education--and in this respect the public and private colleges are complementary...
...major part of the tables tells what factors are most important in leading men, women, and juveniles to crime. When several of these factors are present in a single case, the Gluecks maintain, a future troublemaker may often be the result...
