...long as Pop continues to concern himself only with such issues as "who will win the pennant this year" or "which beer holds its head the longest," why should he resent Mom's wearing the rather heavy mantle of responsibility which rightfully should rest on his shoulders? Especially since most of us would welcome the opportunity to again slip into something more comfortable...
...Benson resents crowds of any sort, noise of any sort--with the irascibility of a crabby old man. At his age, of course, one shouldn't expect other than this, but somehow one does wish he were kinder to tourists, to modern arrangement of pictures in the Uffiizi, to the motorcycles in Ravenna. These, after all, are the facts of life for modern Italy. Berenson seems to resent them for purely egocentric reasons: because they distract his own concentration, or in some way jibe with his memories of the past...
...expert roving eye." But when British wives and sweethearts began to ask why British menfolk had to wait for an American news magazine to appreciate them, latent male jealousy asserted itself.

The province, containing a tenth of the Congo's people but almost half its wealth, is much too fruity a peach to be let out of Lumumba's grasp. The longer...
Among the more limited specialties there are similar complaints of Balkanization. Pathologists, shut off in their laboratories studying specimens from patients they never see, resent the radiologists' monopoly of tracer studies done with radioactive isotopes. Plastic surgeons, whose practice is supposed to be little more than skin-deep, can hardly lift the scalpel without trespassing. Said one: "Every operation in my field crosses other specialties' borderlines." But it works both ways: the plastic men complain that ear-nose-throat specialists are too willing to bob noses...
