...Shaw is an acknowledged master. But though all the Shavian turnabouts and tricks and gimmicks and gags are brought into the act, Getting Married frequently seems mechanical, clumsy, tired. Surely, for instance, nobody in the entire Shavian gallery is less gracefully created than General Boxer Bridgenorth, who smokes a pipe for a running gag, points out frequently that he is "Only a silly soldier man," and says "Dash my buttons" at intervals (sometimes, a glance at the text informs me, with one exclamation point; sometimes with two).

Somewhere in West Germany last week, two of the free world's top intelligence chiefs met in secret conference. One was pipe-smoking Allen Dulles, head of the U.S.'s Central Intelligence Agency.

Robinson is so explicit that an attentive reader with no fear of federal agents could try it himself...
While Evans was buying into Briggs, he picked up the facilities of four firms-Chapman Valve Manufacturing Co., National-U.S. Radiator Corp., Swartwout Co. and Pipe Fabricators. When Briggs directors flatly turned down his offer to buy Briggs outright, Evans (through Crane) bought 21% of Briggs's common stock, the largest single block. He was all set to elect at least part of an "independent board" of his own choice, which was likely to be more amenable to his taking over. But the court found that Evans' attempt to take over Briggs may violate antitrust laws, blocked...
