...apartments are occupied by Bill Lewis, her ubiquitous administrative assistant, and his parents. Her office is run with taut efficiency, and every letter is answered by return, mail. One fetish: her insistence on maintaining a near-perfect record of voting on every Senate measure, however trivial. The record to date: 908 roll calls...

Another current song records the fate of a red Indian named Running Bear (Mercury) who leaps into angry rapids to swim to his Little White Dove. She dives in, too, from the opposite bank of the river, and they drown happily into the hereafter.

Disheartened by the alarms of his time-Boer War news is bad-an idealistic London inventor, agreeably acted by Rod Taylor, constructs a machine able to move about in time (it bears a plaque reading "Manufactured by H.
