...memo, Times Publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger explained that "several study groups representing nearly every department had made projections" for the new paper. But the "answers were not encouraging." Sulzberger added that "major talent and time would be diverted from the Times to the new publication. I can tell you that this added a great deal to the unattractiveness of the whole proposal." He also was not eager to tangle with ten aggressive newspaper unions that had struck four times in the past five years and had helped kill five newspapers in that period. They are still resisting automation more relentlessly...
Seen from the outside, through the eyes of Stilbourne's dim but eccentric characters, Oliver is just a bright boy with a small talent for music and a chance to rise on the "awful ladder" of the British class system by way of a science scholarship to Oxford. The boy views himself as others do-a mod erate success. It is only in the later episodes that he comes to see himself as Novelist Golding sees him-a moral failure.

His thick accent made him a natural cinema Nazi, including der Führer himself in 1943's The Strange Death of Adolf Hitler, but his talent soon found other roles-most notably Al Jolson's cantor-father...
...positive print (though even here the question arises: Could Serios have carried on this sort of minor photoraphic cottage industry without being detected by Eisenbud, with whom he was in constant, daily contact in Denver? If not, then again it is a question of either collusive hoax or genuine talent, with no middle ground apparent.). But far too many of the thoughtographs are are either impossible to duplicate at all (if this could even be conclusively proved, for even one photo, the whole matter could, of course, be immediately resolved) or, at best, impossible to duplicate without the time...
