...colored by his own personality. Others, however, strongly support Hume's greatness on the grounds that his personality definitely affected the age in which he lived. It is not a question of the cart before the horse in either case, merely the old problem of which came first, the chicken or the egg. In any case, there is much to be said on both sides...
...many years, U.S. Trust had a staid image because its investments rose less rapidly than those of small mutual funds, whose young managers hopped from fad to fad, making quick gains on chicken franchises or computer-leasing companies.

After the worst lines-not that any of them are good-an offstage hand socks it to the culprit with a rubber chicken. Or an animated donkey pops up and chortles: "Wouldn't that sop your gravy?" To the relief of CBS, Hee Haw, which has taken over the Smothers Brothers' time slot, never gets more controversial than: "What's the difference between a horse race and a political race...
