...noted, in a capitalist system there will be as many Starbucks as--and no more than--the market will allow. And what is she afraid of, anyway? Simply that if the state planning boards fail to keep out fast food, there will be stores in the Square she (to hell with everyone else!) doesn't want to frequent...
...real color of early TIME, I think, was to be found at the printer's, which was way-the-hell-and-gone across Manhattan on the West Side somewhere. We would go there on closing night to put the final touches on our creation. This was all very tempestuous. Everybody read proof--I was a proofreader.

In December, I stumbled on a fine lithograph of a Catherine wheel with naked bodies hanging from it, and down in one corner a little man playing a hymn of hate on an organ, and the man was Hitler...
...taboo. The turn to the dark side can be pleasurable if the conversing Other shares a similar predicament with reference to It. But if that Other is, for example, a first-semester senior or--worse!--a junior, hell hath no fury like the------writer who is questioned as to the topic of his or her paper...
