...that both the IAB gym and swimming pool are closed for varsity practice in the afternoon, a time when undergraduates would be most likely to use them. This is presumably to avoid "inconveniencing" the varsity teams by forcing them to practice in the evening. I am sure that other casual athletes could come up with many more examples of these kinds of priorities with regard to use of facilities...

...same time, Lee comes across as the sort of person who is almost never serious in casual company. He jokes continually, talks mostly tongue-in-cheek, and generally tries to reinforce the idea that what he does is somewhat ridiculous. He recalls how he got into the business: "Well, I wanted to be an actor, so it was the most natural thing in the world that I ended up being a writer. Years ago, there was this thing called the WPA Federal Theater--Orson Welles belonged to it, I belonged to it. I like to think that somewhere Orson Welles...

This market...

Reagan always had a casual interest in politics, but he did not become actively involved until his film career began declining after World War II. He regards himself as a reformed "hemophiliac liberal." Indeed as late as 1950 he campaigned for Democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas against Richard Nixon in their bitter Senate race.
