...hatted, boots-and-khaki cattle rancher at his Floresville, Texas, spread; and he interviewed the smooth-talking, pinstriped attorney in his expensively furnished Houston law office. It was only in this third and most worldly incarnation that Ajemian saw Big John ease up on his relentless self-control and look touchingly human. "I had asked him about country-and-western music, and he started talking about the ballads of his youth," Ajemian recalls. "Then,all of a sudden, he began to sing - his voice strong, a little creaky , perhaps and certainly less splendid than his oratory, but the words never...
Helping spur this gold rush is Designer Ralph Lauren's hit line of Western wear. Loafers just do not go with a $400 leather-fringed suit.

He retreats, in fact, to the drab reality of the 1950s, the time of his own spectacular debut as the author of Goodbye, Columbus. The new book retains the look, if not the actual furniture, of autobiography. Goodbye, Columbus is called Higher Education; its author is Nathan Zuckerman who, like Roth, was raised in a middle-class Jewish section of Newark. His story is based on a family embarrassment, a tale of money, lawsuits and maternal sacrifice that upsets...
...reviewer in 1905 complained about the "tiresome use of the child's body for the wiping of the stage floor." As Buster grew, so did the level of showtime violence, and the only way to keep audiences entertained without frightening them was for the little boy to look utterly removed. Keaton described his education: "In this knockabout act, my father and I used to hit each other with brooms, occasioning for me strange flops and falls.
