...eight years. This seems a parallel to the fact that he was out of physical touch with my grandfather for ten painful (according to the book) years. I feel no bitterness toward my father, but I think it sad that I learn more about him by reading articles and gossip columns than from my own communication with him. I was truly moved by his book.

...facile New York Times book critic, is quoted as saying on the inside flap of Reeling, the latest collection of movie reviews from Pauline Kael. Leonard's judgement may strike many as over-blown, or at least as a case of the pot calling the kettle sterling. But people gossip and debate more today about critics and commentators than about the events they cover. Brendan Gill cashed in on this new phenomenon with "Here at the New Yorker," as did Timothy Crouse with "Boys on the Bus." This summer, the scent of profit in this new field brings...
