Luce loved reporting, and he seized every excuse to go after news at first hand. On one trip to London some years ago, he expressed skepticism about a dispatch that had characterized Britain's man in the street as being interested only in "football pools, bus queues and everyday living," so he commandeered an office car and went out to take his own soundings. On his return, he simply told the correspondent: "You were right...
McCullough is a dedicated hockey player and respected individual, who took his position seriously. Again it may be only coincidence, but the one pep talk of the hockey season was delivered by McCullough in the bus before the Crimson players pulled their one upset of the year, against Clarkson.

Yet there are patches of refreshing relief from the pressures of mankind: groves of gracefully pirouetting pines, solemn stands of cedar, miniaturized terraces redolent of tangerines and tea. A bone-rattling bus ride from Nagoya can put a harried city dweller aboard a boat on the Gifu River, where-with a giant bottle of sake and the boon companionship of a river geisha-he can watch the cormorant fisherman sweep downstream...
