...thought the smog thing was just an exaggeration, like when your uncle Mort tells you about this great fishing spot where the fish jump into the boat, or when some guy from Bangor tells you that it rained so hard the other day that three farmers drowned in a hay loft. I couldn't believe that they would have smog that you could actually...
...deny that she dined at the restaurant that night, spoke to Kissinger and had "two, maybe three" glasses of wine. But, she testified, "They portrayed me as drunk."

...their ambitions went beyond that, into the realm of symbolic meaning. This was particularly true of Van Gogh and of Gauguin, who eventually went to Tahiti in order to paint huge allegories of human fate.

The Reagans...
Anthony Lewis could probably take over, were he ever asked. His rather casual undergraduate years at Harvard did not prompt him to go on to law school, but he seems a natural for public interest law. The late nights handsetting Crimson headlines and the 4 a.m. discussions at the Hay-Bickford cafeteria on Mass. Ave paved the way for a different profession--a career which twice a week has a column landing on the front porches of American homes, an unmuffled voice of liberalism in an increasingly conservative...
