...Tynan used it in England in a 1965 interview on a BBC talk show, and that was a tremendously prominent thing. The newspapers were outraged. He was then the director of the National Theatre.

One would think that the same publication that prides itself on gossip—especially celebrity gossip—would be proud of The Voice, not incensed. After all, it was The Post that sent reporters to stalk the humiliated Ruth Madoff on the Manhattan subway, photographers to capture her at the worst possible moments, and writers to transcribe every last angry word she said as she tried to escape their questions...
