...Stuff. Bungei-Shunju is an unlikely rebel against this system. Founded in 1923 by a now deceased novelist, it is predictable, patriotic, and conservative. The cover of its November issue, on which the explosive 61-page "An Anatomy of Kakuei Tanaka, His Money and His Men" is noted in small type, shows five placid pigeons pecking away amid fallen autumn leaves. Bungei-Shunju's 700,000 readers typically buy the magazine for its reportage, fiction and travel articles.

...direct his songwriting talents toward atomizing situations of class and culture.

Jerry Ford's politeness and concern for his Asian hosts were pure prairie, the stuff that was nurtured on the Elm Streets by people who had to get along with each other...
...Macdonald calls home. Could a Macdonald enemies list be complete without those sparring partners Cozzens (James Gould) and Cousins (Norman), the author of By Love Possessed who was by Macdonald savaged and the editor of Saturday Review/World? (When Macdonald called Cousins' magazine a "honeypot of banality and deep-stuff' for openers, then went ad hominem, his wife told him he "shouldn't attack Cousins personally.'' It's a wise wife who knows her husband...
