...national ship," he explained. "It wasn't something to play around with and turn into a honky-tonk." James Gardner, the principal exterior designer of the original, said of the altered superstructure: "We tried to give her lines a quiet dignity like the Mark III Bentley, but now lumps have been added...
...when his work began to attract notice in 1962. In the decade since then he has remained one of the most conspicuous figures in the English art world. The Clairol-bleached thatch, the Yorkshire accent and the owl-like stare through horn-rims the size of old Bentley headlights have become almost as much a part of the London myth as Twiggy.

His second novel, The Arrangement, was a huge bestseller, but the movie he made of it was a costly debacle. More recently, books about the blacklist, like Eric Bentley's Thirty Years of Treason, have revived the memory of Kazan's cooperation with congressional Communist-hunters in the early '50s.
