Students as well, both black and white, may have finally made the selfish and encouraging decision to look after their narrow interests, to get on and get out with a diploma and at least get a respectable job. Or so the comments of Jerome S. Winegar, the former Minnesota-based school administrator who Judge Garrity approved for headmaster at South Boston High last year, seem to indicate. Monday, he says. so many students checked in for the fourth day of classes--300 blacks and 500 whites--that they had to file up and wait outside the aged building while staff...
...Selfish Oafs. Female sexologists agree with some, if not all of Caletti's findings. Anthropologist Gabriella Parca calls the new study "antiscientific" because it is limited to the Veneto region. "In the Veneto there is much more sexual freedom than in Sicily or Sardinia," she points out. "It is as though Kinsey had conducted his national study only in New York." But Parca and many other women agree with Caletti's debunking of the Latin lover myth. Parca characterized Italian men in her book The Sultans, published eleven years ago, as selfish, insensitive oafs. Now engaged in preparing...
...This selfish British mercantilism has been remarkably effective in protecting and promoting British manufacturing. British exports to the Colonies have multiplied twelvefold since the beginning of this century, from £344 thousand to £4.2 million in the peak year of 1771, while American exports only tripled, to £1.3 million.

The only palatable thing about his playing straight man is whom he's playing straight man to. Brando is just incredibly funny, careless, silly and selfish. He's like a drunk, bored, witty King at a State Dinner: everybody's genuflecting all over the place and he couldn't care less. He's rude, oblivious and endearing. Like the days when he was in the "Brando's-finished-and-nobody-screwed-him-but-himself" stage...
...about her, and she had the concerned attention of parents and friends, especially male friends. She says, "You're attracted to men who will take care of you. Once they respond sexually, you find that hateful because they're intruding upon your freedom, so you run. It's very selfish--they want something but you don't want to give anything. It's a way of protecting myself--I've always found work very important. This lets me shut myself up and work and work and work...
