...Lessing's characters get off without one or another dehumanizing analysis of their personalities. Lessing has an annoying habit of randomly doing away with articles and pronouns. She occasionally writes a very bad sentence (for instance: "The flight was called and he was airborne, floating west inside grey cloud that was his inner state,"). But these are aesthetic blights, and none so damaging-or so interesting-as this inability of hers to write convincing, let alone good, fiction about politics...
...Vereen plays him, the M.C. is a kind of failed Mephistopheles, a combination of Joel Grey's decadent host in Cabaret and vaudeville's old-fashioned song-and-dance man.

Now many increasingly sophisticated advertisers have their own research and media departments and no longer want to pay for all these services. Full-service agencies like Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, Ogilvy & Mather, and Grey accommodate clients by providing services individually, or "à la carte," for negotiated fees...
...NAVAHO INDIANS use the same word for both grey and brown. The Hopi in their thoughts about events include both space and time; neither is found alone in their world view. Douglas Huebler combines a concept of art with out culture's thoughts about events; neither is found alone in his aesthetic view...
