...though he became an Anglican; the other a man who often seemed shallow and without strong roots. Both made their contemporaries uneasy for reasons that could not always be spelled out. Each in his time was underestimated by others, Disraeli because of his rakish dilettantism, Nixon because of his bland ordinariness. Both were dismissed as opportunists; few perceived the fire within. Neither of them ever gave up. "Disraeli," admitted his great rival William Gladstone, "is a man who is never beaten.

Her pleading queries--"Do ya think I look allright" or "Did ya think I was a good actress, Joey?"--find no response except their own echo; Joey's adrenalin seems to run only...
...dish full of white napkins. Everyone laughed but I'm pretty far-sighted and I didn't notice what was wrong. Yea I started laughing too. I don't know why. I suppose cause everyone else was. I dug into the dessert--I thought it was pretty bland kind of mealy-like too. Everyone had stopped laughing by the time coach Crouthamel came over and mentioned my mistake after the first dish. And I had asked for seconds too. Can you beat that. I guess they were kinda shocked...
