...their assembled visage: either jet black or platinum blonde hair (depending on your sexuality), plastic rimmed rectangular glasses, a blue button-down shirt made of light material, a blazer of either corduroy or velvet (not contingent upon your sexuality), deep brown, well-fitting pants, and an essential leather satchel (for your manuscript, of course). In winter, a dark coat which reaches mid-calf should be incorporated. In summer, there is no alteration, but rolling up of the blue sleeves is permitted once the bike has been locked...
...boss Sam Giancana. "I'd be happy to," she tells him. "Why?" Kennedy's reply is wonderfully straightforward. "Well, I think he can help me with the campaign." Next he asks if she would mind conveying a little package to Giancana in Chicago. It turns out to be a satchel full of cash, maybe $250,000, in hundred-dollar bills. Would it be safe to transport so much money? asks the awestruck young woman. The next President of the United States of America is both cryptic and to the point: "You're better off without knowing...
...York, Hank became a protege of Art Tatum's, carrying the great blind pianist's music satchel from gig to gig.

Then Kitaj: "Cazanne is my favourite painter too ... Maybe that's why he draws so many...
...some ways Sanders, a.k.a. Neon Deion (which he hates) and Prime Time (which he embraces), seems from yet another time. He has Satchel Paige's wit and flair for self-promotion, Cab Calloway's sense of outrageous style and Jim Thorpe's mind-boggling athletic ability. In the 49ers' 38-28 victory over their nemesis, the Cowboys, on Jan. 15, Sanders stifled the Dallas receivers, intercepted a crucial pass near the San Francisco goal line, and bugged his coach, George Seifert, so much that he was allowed to return a kickoff for the first time all season. He also demonstrated...
