...help-giving enemy, who attempts to pile so much generosity about your head that you are brought to your knees in response. There is the next-of-kin enemy as well, who takes out on a loved one the wickedness he intends for you. Finally, there is the worthiest of the lot, the open-and-aboveboard enemy, who declares straight out that he yearns for your obliteration. Unfortunately, people of this type are so admirable that the temptation to convert them to friends may be overwhelming. This one must resist. If it is true that former friends make the best...
...magazines remain hospitable. But they are remote, academic and, well, little. Harper's and the Atlantic still keep the faith, as do The New Yorker and a few others.

Hail, hail, Freedonia, land of the brave and free. Forget what anyone else says; this is quite simply the best film the Marx brothers ever...
...drama is a blinding, minute-to-minute bolt of lightning. It has no time for the nuances of slowly gathering clouds. The life of the stage pivots on character, action, surprise and eloquence. That is one reason why adaptations from short stories and novels, while embarked upon with the worthiest of intentions, are almost invariably stillborn in the theater...
