...middle management on his 13th day on the lake, why not just stay here all year? Set up as a fishing guide. Open a lodge. We'll take the savings and . . . The soul at odd moments (the third trout, the fourth beer) will make woozy rushes at the pipe dream. Like a gangster who has cooperated with the district attorney, we want a new name and a new career and a new house in a different city - and maybe a new nose from the D.A.'s cosmetic surgeon...
...Bell, 38, a onetime Reagan speechwriter who defeated four-term Senator Clifford Case in the 1978 primary only to lose the general election to Bill Bradley, spent nearly three times as much as Fenwick ($2 million, vs. $700,000) and accused her of being too liberal.

Her emotional ties to her father were so strong that a few weeks after his death, Woolf asserted manhood by starting to smoke a pipe. Reflections of beasts have been provoked by far less...
...Hitler runs a distant second to Stalin, who sanctioned the deaths of 20 million to 50 million of his countrymen. Nor can Nazism, a brutally simple triumph of the goons, touch the tragic complexities of Stalinism-a political torch fanned by the world's idealists while one avuncular pipe smoker in Moscow was wielding it as a genocidal bludgeon. Certainly Stalin was not typecast as a satanic maniac. Hitler was, and his regime paraded itself as a national theater of cruelty. The black leather and stainless steel, the epileptic rhetoric-these were the props and syntax of a most...
