...Jeeves, the infallible, verse-quoting valet ("We are in the autumn, sir, season of mists and mellow fruitfulness"). In the workaday world Jeeves might seem like an average enough gentleman's gentleman but stacked up beside Bertie Wooster, to whose harebrained Don Quixote he plays a discreet Sancho Panza, Jeeves looks like an intellectual giant. There is also Mr. Mulliner, of the bar parlor at the Angler's Rest, and his multifarious nephews. And there are the legends clustering about the Empress of Blandings, Lord Emsworth's prize pig. As in all major epics, there are minor...
...half-burlesque, like its predecessor it mixes wisecracks and Morte d'Arthur, scrambles legend and topical satire. While her husband King Lot is away fighting Arthur, Queen Morgause, comic symbol of the egocentric wife, attempts the seduction of lovesick King Pellinore (3.2 Don Quixote) and Sir Grummore Grummursum (Sancho Panza on rye). Meanwhile her neglected sons Gawaine, Agravaine, Gaheris and Gareth confound their Saracen tutor Palomides, who talks rather like Charlie Chan, and beg stories from heretic St. Torealvac (parody brogue), who inhabits a beehive and drinks mountain...

Last night's resolution by the Cambridge Council is milder than what one would expect from Councilman Don Quixote Sullivan and his Sancho Pansa Mr. Toomey. Perhaps those two windmill-tilters are tired after their great fight of last November when they saved the city from the dripping jaws of Harvard, or perhaps they read the article in the December Harvard Progressive on "The Case for Cambridge" and found therein food for thought. This essay directed at the ill-will that exists between Harvard and Cambridge, gathers a mass of facts on the matter and interprets them in a reasoned...
...private fire, its flames still hidden but its sparks feeding inwardly on a spirit of dissatisfaction and antagonism. Franklin Roosevelt may have sensed this the evening he attended the spring Gridiron Club dinner, given by Washington's newshawks. First he was caricatured as Don Quixote exclaiming to Sancho Panza Garner: "Seest thou not yon fortress of privilege, yon castle of finance?" ("Them's windmills. Boss." said Sancho.) Next he was Pharaoh, telling ''Little Joseph" Wallace: "I had a dream last night. There were seven nice fat budgets all printed in black ink and along came seven...
