...What talk it seemed to be! Shaw, Ibsen, Nietzsche. Back and forth the conversation went, in the clever, fragmented sentences of quick repartee. Before dessert they had gone on to Katherine Mansfield, and then in a postprandial few minutes they dealt, to their satisfaction and mine, with Cabell and Menken...

The fortnightly Mine Workers Journal, which carried no fewer than 30 pictures of Boyle in one recent 24-page issue, has ignored his candidacy. Some Yablonski supporters have been threatened with violence or loss of their jobs or pensions...
