...business. "He was intensely interested in every story in the paper," said a Post editor. "But he ran it with a wonderfully light hand." For Washington's best-read newspaper, it seemed at times too light. With all its influence, the Post (circ. 409,000) is still pale beside the ranking U.S. newspaper, the New York Times...

"Plato, Spinoza, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, St. Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, Roger Bacon, David Hume, Paracelsus, Bishop Berkeley, Immanuel Kant, Herbert Spencer, Descartes and Pico della Mirandola," says Harry, proving himself the young man's intellectual peer. This Harry is a versatile man with words as well as ideas. When a street singer ambles past him, he tells the street singer in Anglo-Saxon syllables to go copulate with a duck...
