Will 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all seem to say "bloody" every fourth word-and, for the sake of accuracy, I'd like to point out that bloody has been superseded since World War II by a four-letter word as yet unprintable), what he said should...
...Distressed Butler. It must be said that Red police and troops behaved with almost commendable restraint, in the fray at Brandenburger Tor. They had no goal there: trouble was forced upon them. Their masters and the masters' stooges behaved infinitely worse, earlier in the week, at the City Hall, where they had a coldly planned objective.

"They don't even cut out the Chicago items," says baffled Irv Kupcinet. "Must like the stuff. I can't think of another goddam reason for running me in Brazil...
...There is a general and valid acknowledgment that the better the painter the dumber he must be, and out of this dumbness the critic is born and makes hay." French-born Jean Chariot, who wrote that bitter-seeming remark, is himself a cheerful contradiction of it. Chariot (rhymes with Hello) makes hay on both sides of the field. Last week his paintings and colored lithographs were packing people in at Colorado Springs's George Nix Gallery (including museum buyers from as far away as Washington, D.C. and San Diego), while Chariot himself expatiated on art in the Colorado Springs...
