...change the metaphor, a spiral movement going from a "period of change" into a "period of stabilization" and on into a new period of change, and so on; and--note this--each of these periods lasts, with one or two exceptions, from 12 to 16 years. Now I'm not saying that Schlesinger would feel he had to get up there on the platform and join those jolly good sports who are making such a noise and a bother about "eating crow." Among the past exceptions to his theory was the 32-year period from...
There is supposed to be a man who gets $100 and up a day by betting anyone he meets who owns a cigarette lighter that the lighter won't work on the first try.

Most of what I believed then now seems complete nonsense, but it was an essential part of becoming a whole man. If it hadn't been for this late but indispensable education, I couldn't have done...
...distribute movies, one to operate RKO theaters. Both would be owned by the present stockholders (Hughes, with 24% of the outstanding common, is the biggest). Since that seemed like just another name for the same thing, the other members of the Big Five-Paramount, Loew's Inc. (M-G-M), Warner Bros., 20th Century-Fox - watched hopefully to see whether Hughes could placate the trustbusters that easily...
