...busted woman with poor makeup, and totally out of fashion." ∙ "She predicted we wouldn't do well against Chicago last weekend, and they kicked the living dickens out of us," noted Oakland Athletics Owner Charles Finley of his new employee. She is Laurie Brady, an astrologer, columnist (the National Star), and now Finley's designated team prophet. Brady has drawn astrological charts on all the Oakland players, as well as on Finley himself, and is telling her boss what's in his stars, athletically speaking. Maybe Finley shouldn't listen. Brady says Kansas City will...
...circle now claims, "I was never really close to him"? The phrase, or something like it, pops up in The Final Days and in the novel ground out by newly minted Author John Ehrlichman; Knopf only knows where it will appear next.

...expect him to or not, I don't know. I think it's 50-50, but for gosh sake, that's a personal opinion. I'm not an executive at CBS, I will not in any way sit on the Dan Schorr case. I was very offended that some columnist...said that if I had lifted my little finger that Dan Schorr would still be working at CBS. Well, he is still working for CBS technically; he's still getting his salary. But that is misreading my role and my power...
