Proliferating cyclists reduced Denver Post Sports Columnist John McGrath to epithet: "Look around: geeks in long black shorts are hunched over a pair of handlebars at every urban intersection, on every country road...
...Colino's world has crumbled. He has declared bankruptcy, his passport has ^ been revoked, and his spacious five-bedroom house in Chevy Chase, Md., has been sold to Columnist George Will for about $950,000.

To Dooley these philosophies were just rationalizations...
...book about working wives, evolved into a steamy kiss- and-tell memoir, had its best parts lifted by the Washington Post, then was withdrawn from circulation -- all without ever being published. Such was the fate of the 80-page book proposal by Washington Hostess Joan Braden, wife of Syndicated Columnist Tom Braden, frequent companion of former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and mother of the brood on which the TV sitcom Eight Is Enough was based...
