...answered. In order to gain forgiveness, Ted writes, David must renounce the "lies" he has told about Ted, leave his wife and remove himself from modern society. "If he does not redeem himself," Ted adds, "then as far as I am concerned he is the lowest sort of scum, and the sooner he dies, the better...
Much has been made of Marilyn's desperate personal history, the litany of abusive foster homes and the predatory Hollywood scum that accompanied her wriggle to stardom. Her heavily flashbulbed marriages included bouts with baseball great Joe DiMaggio and literary champ Arthur Miller, and her off-duty trysts involved Sinatra and the rumor of multiple Kennedys.

Today they enable the FBI to keep U.S. crime statistics low by threatening to give the media the raw files of anyone even thinking about going...
...picked up in Washington, he learned the expectations game. True, most of his jokes were chestnuts he no doubt hoarded from ABA conventions, but he effectively tailored them to the event. "What's the difference between a catfish and Ken Starr?" he asked. "One is a bottom-dwelling, scum-sucking scavenger. The other is just a fish." Later he told of a store where an ounce of lawyers' brains cost $75 and an ounce of journalists' brains cost $1 million. The clerk explained the discrepancy: "Do you know how many journalists we had to kill to get an ounce...
