...politically impossible in this country; Americans simply will not accept it. Yet it ought to be pointed out that the people have never heard a reasonable and unemotional presentation of the problem. It is too easy to insist that everybody wants a Cuban invasion after everybody has listened to endless denunciations of Cuban Communism and Soviet aggression...
...list of manageable size only for juniors and seniors, or precocious lowerclassmen.) Or list all those living in the dormitory your sister or sister's girlfriend (who may be freely invented) lived in. You're calling for old-times' sake, or the family tradition.

...Endless Gibes. The Tour has a double value to the very degree that Boswell had a double aim in writing it. His first concern was his hero, and only his second the Hebrides. The two objectives sometimes gloriously combine, but they can just as gloriously clash. Scotland was always for Johnson a pet target that he waggishly exploited as a pet aversion; it produced endless gibes on tour as well as at home...
