...Bath. Once Costantini has a drawing or plaster model in hand, he seeks out the glass blower he feels particularly suited to the work. "We drink a glass of wine and talk," he says, "then another glass of wine and talk some more." Costantini selects the colors, and the tortuous work of blowing and shaping begins. For Ernst's tall, reddish-brown Poet, topped by a sharp-beaked head with a hole for an eye, the glassworker at some stages had the equivalent of a 100-lb. weight at the end of his long metal blowpipe.

Surely the duration will extend beyond Lyndon Johnson's presidency and many , more to come. Through legal action, the road from shantytown to voting booth has been cleared.

Because a tortuous, seven-mile trail is all that connects the village with public highways and commercial airports, guests will have to be ferried in by private plane or boat...
Peyrefitte also goes through some tortuous onomastics to "prove" that dozens of famous people have Jewish ancestors. De Gaulle, for example, remarked during a visit to Germany in 1962 that he had a great-great-grandfather named Kolb. Indeed, there are three Kolbs listed in Who's Who in World Jewry. Voil...
