...have to get an idea I can write. If I were going to class here, and I were writing for a grade, which would mean my writing a novel, the I would pick two or three things if they satisfied the instructor, and write the best I were able to. But when you're on your own, when a writer's on his own, he's lucky if he can get one good idea. He writes only for himself, he's no longer writing for the faculty of a university.

Perhaps this is part of the reason none of the younger, less tarnished politicians of either party have pressured their shopworn leaders into resigning--Heath or Wilson's last, greatest service to their supporters could be to serve as scapegoats...
...will probably be brought up again. More important, the Bundy action can be construed as a blunt message to Washington: do something about the falling stock market and the inflation that ate up $400 million of the Ford Foundation's purchasing power in 1973 or be prepared to pick up the slack if the foundation cuts back or goes under...
