...mind reels merely in contemplation of the efforts it no doubt took to get the scene past the network's censors.

...cohorts dig up laughs you'd only guessed at, reading the play. But the young lovers, too, keep their scenes from bogging down into indistinguishable, interchangeable laments: Sloan's strong-willed and-armed Helena gets a hapless Demetrius into a half-nelson, and literally dogs his path with a graphic spaniel imitation; Eric Elice and Marianne Owen as Lysander and Hermia separate "as may well be said becomes a virtuous bachelor and a maid" before they fall asleep, roll towards each other and exchange places before waking up.

Du Pont, a manufacturer of X-ray and industrial films, has raised its prices by as much as 80% in the past year. Polaroid boosted prices 6% earlier this month and said it was considering further increases. Polaroid is fortunate because...
...chested shirts. Granite cocks. And then the serious stuff begins, and the music trumpets forth the coming of the commentator: "Day 78," he says, announcing the score. A bunch of angry Iranian militants beat themselves with chains, cutting to the Russians rumbling toward the free world, and ah...the graphic mushroom cloud covers the picture and the words zoom out from its heart, "America Held Hostage...
