Anyone may commit murder, but not anyone can commit a "good" murder. Says Author Sutherland: "By a 'good' murder I mean one that involves, in the order named, sex, wealth, mystery, romance, celebrities, beauty, and youth."

Knopf, dancing not art but exhibitionism. A typical Nathanity: "And if too many people familiarly call Jimmy Walker by his first name...
...direct, as noble, as fine as any other kind of writing. It is a record, bad or good, of the passing pageant of life." He predicted: "I think that we in America will survive the machine age. Mankind could always stand what would kill a dog. . . . Drink or casual sex experiments will get us nowhere. . . . It would be a proud day for me if I could feel in myself something of the beauty and dignity of the automobile in which I rode to this speaking...
