...this is amiably flavorsome matzo-ball soup opera. Gertrude Berg is flawless in her comic timing, wry-arch in gesticulation, a singsong bird of prey who pounces on the feeblest line for a resounding laugh. For wit, there are Jewish folk inflections; for character, stereotypes; for comic insight, racial in-group jokes. Following up on his 1959 hit, A Majority of One, Spigelgass proves that he can bring in greenback gushers without any risky drilling for dramatic art.

...force instate elections for some time. In Georgia, the moderate candidate, Carl Sanders, defeated conservative former Governor Marvin Griffin in the 1962 gubernatorial lections and moderate-turned-lately Peter Zack Geer was elected lieutenant governor.

J.G., then, entirely identifies himself with the white liberals, and curses them only to assume the singing-robes of the high-priesthood of liberalism...
Holly trees arch gracefully over the neat white fences that line the dirt road leading to the brick mansion at West Hatton, the 630-acre Zantzinger farm-estate in southern Maryland. The mansion's colonnaded porch faces the somnolent Wicomico River, which flows past a placid pond and a white summerhouse. Also on the estate is an austere farmhouse from which William Devereux Zantzinger, 24, runs one of the most prosperous tobacco operations in Charles County...
