...were practicing for an elocution lesson. NBC apparently had told him and fellow Anchor Man Paul Udell to try for an informal, bantering approach-the secret of the ABC outlet's success. Both men found the formula uncomfortable at first, partly because they were out of sync with one another and partly because they were trying too hard. Strained humor, by definition, is no humor...
Absurdist playwrights like Ionesco and Pinter have taken as their special province the psychic discordance -both funny and unnerving-that occurs when words are out of sync with reality, as in a dubbed movie. This is at the root of Rooted, the first full-length play by Australia's Alexander Buzo, 28, which is being given its U.S. premiere by Connecticut's Hartford Stage Company.

Moss, Blanche and Buck were misfits in a depression crazy America. They turned to violence as a means of etching out an existence against the fabric of a forlorn dust-bowl...

At a price of less than $1,000, the car was an easy step up from the motor scooter; four passengers could squeeze into it-if they inhaled and exhaled in sync. The 500 is still Fiat's bestseller; it and a slightly larger version account for almost half of the cars sold in Italy over the past decade...

Jack Hawkins, limited to esophageal speaking since his operation for throat cancer two years ago, is thin, out-of-sync and does not remotely resemble his distinctive rasp. Even Chato, the Indian chief, is misplayed. The part was given to Woody Strode, a Negro ex-football star for the Los Angeles Rams. He speaks, and looks, like a redskin in blackface...
