...trying hard to grow a moustache, administered the intelligence test to most of the New Rochelle group. "This is a four-part test," he said in a monotone, reciting from memory words that the rest of us followed in our test books. "There are arithmetic questions, questions dealing with verbal skills, visual questions, and puzzle questions...
Taken in this light the recent announcement of PBH's financial difficulties cannot be overlooked. PBH has been denied a permanent subsidy for reasons which, in keeping with the Administration's usual technique for verbal foreplay, sound wonderfully logical and reasonable at first glance, but appear later on to be little else than intellectual pretense.

Reiner has also succeeded in finding a visual equation for his primarily verbal humor on occasion. George Segal is the son, Ruth Gordon is Mom, and there are awfully nice bits by character actor Ron Leibman and an ingenue named Trish Van Devere...
