...Rambaldo, the innocent youth for whom she flies her love-nest-Ruggiero, and for comic relief-a maid, a poet. Unlike Camille & Sappho the comic relief wins out, Ruggiero's intentions prove a little too honorable-and the swallow flies back home. Unlike the earlier Puccini scores, the element of tragedy is missing from the soft, curving arias and duets. Unlike Monte Carlo, the whole was almost reclaimed last week in Manhattan by the altogether pleasant production at the Metropolitan-by the gay, graceful Magda of Lucrezia Bori, by the caricatured poet of Armand Tokatyan, the brilliant Second Empire...

Previous experiments had shown that rats given food that contained the five vitamins thrived normally. Clearly, Dr. Evans' diet lacked some element present but not recognized in the foods of foregoing vitamin experiments...
Fresh lettuce was added to the rats' meals. The animals swiftly waxed mature in all respects. Dr. Evans fed others liver with the basic regimen. Liver, too, effectively matured them.

Shakespeare, without a doubt, changed 'Wincot' to the name of whatever town he was playing in, and made 'Marian Hocket' some local character. Thus he heightened the farcical element, and this can be best conveyed to an American audience by making it typically American, by modernizing the costumes and the speech...
