...Cynthia Ozick's ill-fed, unkempt, rumpled and generally undusted husband, I deny your characterization of her-in your otherwise shining review of Trust [Aug. 12]-as a "housewife." That, God knows...
...Wars. The story of the romance is not exactly new. Columnist Westbrook Pegler insinuatingly linked F.D.R. with Lucy in the 1940s as part of his vendetta against the Roosevelts.

Norwood Pratt, an ex-marine who runs a Nipper Independent Oil Co. Servicenter, gets sick and tired of living with his sister Vernell and her husband Bill, a disabled veteran who refuses to go halvers on the weekly food bill and leaves "hairs stuck around on the soap." Norwood makes a deal with Grady Fring the Kredit King to drive an Olds 98 to New York, expenses paid and $50 clear. Fortified by a bottle...
