...waited on: he often answers his own telephone, greets people at the door, takes their coats and fetches their drinks. He husbands his money for his family, and has grown more cautious over the years. He invested the first $75,000 from Come Blow Your Horn in "cattle that froze to death in Montana." A far bigger error: selling the TV rights to The Odd Couple to Paramount when it made the movie, on the presumption that it would never become a series?a bad guess that Simon says may have cost him as much as $20 million.

His call to arms against the plight of the homeless in the bitter winter of 1954, after a woman froze to death in Paris with her eviction notice in hand, remains one of the most broadly cited expressions of human compassion in the French language.

...wait his turn, and his next observing run isn't until January 2007. But the engineers this night have figured out the problem. When Stark entered his user name in the online telescope log, he made a typo. Every time the focusing routine came upon it, the program froze. The typo has now been corrected. The Keck can focus again, and to their delight, Stark and Ellis are able to confirm that at least three of their faint galaxies do seem to lie hundreds of millions of light-years farther awayand hundreds of millions of years closer...
