Frustrated Gulls. The mess is a pleasant spot,-with plastic-topped tables for four men, russet leather and aluminum chairs and a 21-inch TV set. Near the chow line is a "gedunk" soda fountain. The gleaming galley has most of the comforts of modern living, including an electric mixer, a potato peeler, a dishwasher, and a garbage grinder that should frustrate gulls and porpoises. Elsewhere on the ship are a 15-lb. washing machine and a steam dryer and presser...
...France of the same period, great painters turned easily to problems of illustration. Eugène Delacroix, a Romantic from his flowing locks to his patent leather pumps, found a congenial subject in Hamlet. Honoré Daumier brought his genius for social satire to a masterpiece in the same genre: Don Quixote.

Despite his Old Testament beard and striped gown, Micah leaves no doubt as to his Anglo-Saxon manliness. Before a moviegoer can say popcorn, he has unhorsed a villainous overseer and released from bondage a mistreated slave; later on, he triumphs in a religious disputation with some rascally heathens by a solid right...
