...happy; it was almost like a successful political rally. Applause greeted the assertion that "TV is an advertising medium disguised as entertainment." After this great feat of perception, Kazan revealed that ticket prices are too high on Broadway. "When I took my family to the theatre last week, the tab for the five of us was fifty dollars," he said, "and I resented it like Hell." (Scattered laughter and several nods of sympathy...
Insured Success. India's planners are successful in part because private enterprise exceeds what is expected of it. Private enterprise still accounts for 90% of India's gross national product, and will almost surely be able to pick up a larger share of the plan's tab than the. 40% the planners expect.

Where the 1958 Broadway play (by Samuel Taylor "with" Cornelia Otis Skinner) set in motion a sea of social-comedy soap bubbles...
Astaire sneers delectably at a photograph of Tab in a football suit, sniffs at the gaudy ties of Lilli's current husband, Gary Merrill, and even changes the weight regulator on the man's Exercycle. What's worse, charming rakehell that he is (though never as arch, mocking or sphinxlike as Cyril Ritchard was onstage), he tries to freeze Tab out and lure his daughter away with promised trips to Venice, Positano and the Aegean Isle where Rupert Brooke is buried. At one painful moment, father and daughter, after a gay, French-talking night on the town...
