Last week in Buffalo, Jimmy War burg concluded, with these words, the ablest of his many speeches...
...went to Oxford, then followed his older brother into authorship. At Oxford he read history, dabbled in art. Alec Waugh had made a precocious splash with The Loom of Youth (1917); Evelyn obliterated the ripples with Decline & Fall.
