...atmosphere was very laid-back and there was absolutely no level of ego. Danny Glover is a really sweet man who makes you feel totally at ease, and Oprah is so reassuring and has such a firm commitment to goodness. This is a person who succeeded completely through hard work, and never stepped on anyone or stooped to cutthroat tactics on her way to the top. Working with her, I realized the sheer range and strength of this woman. She's one of the most inspiring people I've ever...

By 1911 young Irving Berlin could confidently assert that Everybody's Doing It (Doing It, Doing It) Now--and not just Americans either. Dukes and lords and Russian Czars were doing it too, as Berlin noted elsewhere. And a few years later, ragtime became part of the sound track...
