...these were brilliant people, and occasionally they flash free of the author's clutch, as when "Monk" Lewis, master of the supernatural, jolts Shelley by ruling him out of a ghost-story session because Shelley is an atheist; or when Shelley's friend, Thomas Jefferson Hogg, hopes to seduce Mary while Shelley is away from home; or when Shelley gets a swimming lesson and plunges straight to the bottom, tempted by death and an answer to the Great Mystery. Despite such antics, Mary's father, husband and friends were schooled-and schooled her-to put intellect above...
...student at Oxford, Quintin McGarel Hogg was enraged when his father accepted a peerage, which he foresaw would banish him into the "political ghetto'' of the House of Lords and prevent him from becoming Prime Minister (TIME, Sept. 30). Now Viscount Hailsham, Lord President of the Council, chairman of the Conservative Party and a remorseless Tory, Hogg was asked on a BBC show if he, though a member of the House of Lords, could hope to become Prime Minister.

Both Marty Heckscher and Charlie MacVeagh extended the Middies' Jim Hogg and Mike Gluse, ranked five and six respectively, to five games. MacVeagh lost by one point, 9-15, 17-16, 15-12, 17-16, and 17-16, while Heckscher, soundly beaten in the last two games, bowed...
...Stormy Tory Leader Quintin Hogg (now Viscount Hailsham) wrote that if Christ returned, "we should learn again a secret, lost now to all except the saints in heaven-his sheer gaiety and charm, his incredible vitality, his spontaneous wit . . . Can you imagine anything but a smile when he nicknames the gentle John and his brother 'The sons of Thunder'? Is there not a light of amusement as well as seriousness when the impetuous Simon finds himself for all the ages called 'The Rock' . . . ? Christians have puzzled for centuries over the unjust judge and the fraudulent steward...
