Strike three. Christ-a tie ball game. It really got Bobby's bile up when the high-paid hitters couln't hit homeruns during clutch situations. They're pulling in hundreds of thousands of dollars to play a game and he had to leave home and sweat away eight hours a day at meaningless work. By the time he would get home he'd be too tired to do anything but drink beer and watch a ball game, a captive audience. There were so many useless people in America -- he was grinding his teeth now -- ball players...

...Another swill of beer brought some more bile up. Just that evening he was waiting for the Watertown Square bus after work, sitting on an ancient bench in the urine-soaked subway when some freak hauling a queer knap-sack pushed his waist-length hair back behind his shoulders and began arguing with his chum about "perceptions of reality...

...have absorbed as much bile in their mother's milk as the son of Marguerite Oswald. Her sense of grievance against a world that she felt owed her a living pervaded Lee's life, causing him, at the age of 20, to seek some fancied redress in the U.S.S.R.

After fleeing Hitler in 1933, Zuckmayer eventually settled on a farm in Vermont and wrote The Devil's General a black-bile drama attacking the Nazi high command. When Germany collapsed, he returned to Europe to compile his affectionate, good-humored memoirs, A Part of Myself...

...survivor who faces the G.O.P. nominee (almost certain to be Incumbent James Buckley) in November. With the primary vote set for next week, the two flamboyant front runners-former United Nations Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan, 49, and Manhattan Congresswoman Bella Abzug, 56-are providing most of the bite and bile. The three candidates who appear to be lagging-former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, 50, New York City Council President Paul O'Dwyer, 69, and Builder Abraham Hirschfeld, 58-are running less cantankerous campaigns. Moynihan and Abzug, complains O'Dwyer, are leaving "scar tissue all over the place...
