...production seems to squelch almost everyone connected with it. Only René Auberjonois as a faggy designer manages to filch an occasional moment of amusing exuberance. A number he does called Fiasco is the closest thing Coco has to a show-jogger-and is all too apt as a one-word critique...
Under Beuve-Méry's omnipotentiary guidance, Le Monde has become one of the best newspapers in the world.

One way or another, Handel's Messiah these days is as omnipresent...

As material existence becomes more abundant for more and more men, the minister will have to become more and more the guide, energizer and catalyst?the "playing coach," in one cleric's term, the agent provocateur in another...
