Surely the propositions SFTP holds about the class bias of sociobiologists are hypotheses about the real world to be tested like any others. For those who speak so glibly, if only occasionally intelligibly, about falsifiability, they seem curiously unwilling to subject their beliefs to empirical tests. The field I know is a normal academic cross-section, containing the variously brilliant, troubled, foolish, generous, devoted, opportunistic, self-righteous, insecure, hypocritical, self-examining, bigoted, humane, confused, courageous, narrow, fiery, and kind. The field is in a creative ferment, and the meaning which its workers find in it is as various as their...
Allen's private life is a taboo, reserved for the absent analyst, though the films are about him and intend us to imagine his complex 'interiority.'

They talk in allusion, carry old volumes everywhere, and make love while reciting from yellowed Byron, cut just for the occasion. At least, they're about to, they're about to, when the phone rings...
Reporters admire the way Carter frankly admits it when he either does not know something or simply does not want to answer a question. They also appreciate his guarded guidance when they are on the right track but he cannot officially elaborate. "Read your own work," he may say, or "I don't have any trouble with that." Says Carter's boss, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance: "Hodding performs one of the most difficult tasks in Government with mastery. In Hodding's job the difference between the right word and the almost right word, as Mark Twain...
