...emotion; throughout their working sessions Hart puffed huge cigars and kept insisting on thanking his benefactor, not understanding why Kaufman kept rushing to the bathroom for refuge. On the other hand, Hart was a compulsive eater (success has since cured him of the affliction), but was too shy to admit his ravenous hunger; while Kaufman operated on their scripts with innumerable scalpel-sharp pencils, Hart would nearly faint on dainty watercress sandwiches or sickening fudge cooked up by the great playwright himself...
...were raised, but rather a realization that some answer must be made to the problems raised by religious thinking. In this process aspects of one's former religion are rejected or retained, and aspects of other religions are unabashedly borrowed. Thus, a student who is called a Protestant will admit he is a Protestant but--,and he may well proceed to say that he rejects the doctrines of grace, immortality, and the divinity of Christ.

Grand Design. Even Wilbur Mills's friends admit that he is partly to blame for his committee's ineffectuality this year. By overcautiously trying to win Republican agreement before bringing proposals to a committee vote, he has lost Democratic backing. In operating too much on his own, he has failed to collect the committee's fragmented Democratic majority into a united front. By failing to canvass committee members with sufficient care, he has frequently misjudged how they would vote...
