...Business, not only the Church and the State, but, if necessary its readers." In other words, Ginzburg thinks he's a hero. He thinks his magazine has something new, something full of wild, wonderful, and galloping anomie. He's wrong. Fact contains 64 pages of the sweatiest and dullest ever, and Ginzburg still wants an exorbitant...
...itself that Reuben Brower demonstrates in "The Poetry of Robert Frost--Constellations of Intention."

The only reason Harvard did not win was the Crimson's inability to hold its own passes. Penn really did not interfere very much with this part of the Harvard game...
Occasional scenes did penetrate the torpor induced by the first half-hour, surely one of the dullest film segments produced by Hollywood in a long while. But for the most part PT 109 was horrendous, devoted primarily to showing off Cliff Robertson's repertoire of facial expressions, all of which seemed to be subtle variations of a smirkish half-smile...
