...film's otherwise smooth accomplishment of its limited purpose. Finney plays Poirot as an affable tailor's dummy of a man, who wears a hairnet and a moustache band to sleep every night, and whose moustache, indeed, doesn't move when he talks. Poirot is not the coolest of detectives; he's always in control of the situation (this is no Chinatown or Maltese Falcon) but he doesn't care to keep his voice down--sometimes he screams to provoke his diffident witnesses, sometimes he just chortles in glee. "There are too many clues in this room" he sings...
Beach realized afterwards that maybe his stand did not constitute the coolest move he could have made under the circumstances, but he was not particularly interested in being cool. As a matter of fact, ever since he had been cursed with a New Yorker as a freshman roommate, Beach had not really liked cool people. At this point Beach was much more interested in survival, in finding something else that would not be so wasting...
...warm. But soon much more new construction will employ a "variable-volume" system in which dampers are adjusted by thermostats to vary the amount of air distributed. The dampers simply send warm areas the maximum amount of cool air possible, while lessening the flow to the coolest areas. A new U.S. General Services Administration building in Manchester, N.H., will use 60% less energy than an average building of the same size. Plans call for the north wall to be windowless and insulated more heavily than any of the other walls; the south wall will have fins that shade...
...Sanders is without doubt one of the coolest coaches around when the pressure is on. Whether his team is down by 15 or routing an opponent, the lanky Sanders maintains his poise, never screaming at a bad call or berating his players. That cool, and Sanders's philosophy of hardnosed defense and patterned offense, will be tested over the long vacation when the Crimson competes in one tournament and plays three other games...
...influx of the "street people"-estimates range from 5,000 to 100,000, plus 50,000 conventioneers-scares many residents. Memories of the bloody riots at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago have made the graying Miami Beach citizens (median age: 65) more than a little jittery. Fortunately, the coolest heads belong to those most directly involved in keeping the peace. The coolest of all is Police Chief Rocky Pomerance, a big (270 lb.), bright, benign bruiser who preaches that "the police do not have to be an abrasive force." For the moment, at least, Rocky's spirit...
