...Lawther comes from Durham, and is therefore a Geordie (native of northeast England). As such, he would tend to give his aitches the harsh Teutonic guttural overemphasis of his Nordic ancestors. Never by any misadventure would he drop an aspirate. If he must be rendered phonetically (as you so love to do with cockney taxi drivers, who all seem to say "bloody" every fourth word-and, for the sake of accuracy, I'd like to point out that bloody has been superseded since World War II by a four-letter word as yet unprintable), what he said should have...

Last week the man of hate, Mohamed Ali Jinnah, at 71, died a natural death in Karachi, capital of the state he had founded. His devoted and equally fanatic sister, Fatima, was at his side; so was his daughter, Mrs. Dinah Wadia, whom he had disowned because she married a Parsee (as he had done before...
...preface was used in a long blurb for the syndicated newspaper rights: "It is, in a way, a report to women, other women ... I was to work and eat and ride and laugh and drink and play and suffer with the famous commander ... I was to know love, intimately. And I was to know, just as intimately, the unspeakable pain of losing my lover in battle . . ."t Her job was, she knew, an enviable one -"An obvious side door to the Supreme Commander's mental apartment." But it had its unpleasant features: "There were some ridiculous (though hurtful) smears...
