...Sure, the guy pretends to put characters in. You've got your usual two, maybe four-five, hippy-type guys climbing into your old car and going off to a beach. To groove, you know, To screw around, scream we're free! to rocks and sand. You've got your passing array of loonies, the guys who carry around pomegranates and sleep with logs. The guy who counts all the punctuation marks ("the rivets") in Ecclesiastes. So you say "they got no depth," right? You say there's no plot, right? You didn't get the Civil War bits mixed...
Hammett established a character type that dominated American mystery writing, and still reappears in one form or another in James Bond, Matt Helm, and the rest of the gang. But Hammett's characters, Sam Spade, Nick Charles, and the others, were different from their modern apostles. Because they were more than detectives, smart, tough guys.

Absent-minded, able to concentrate exclusively on his work for long hours during his fertile period, and generally refusing to pay any attention to getting his work published. Newton is the type of the Scientific Genius. But there is a more sordid, or at least more human, side to Newton's life. After quarreling with one astronomer (John Flamsteed) he removed from the second edition of the Principia all passages from the first edition in which he had acknowledged his debt to the man. In a paper...
Arnold Kaufman, a University of Michigan professor who is also on the national executive committee of the NDC, distinguishes the type of liberals who have flooded to this new coalition, especially in labor as humanistic liberals who have flooded to this new coalition, especially in labor, as "humanistic liberals"-contrasted to those like Hubert Humphrey and George Meany, who he calls "custodial liberals." Though many of the "humanist liberals" disagree with Kaufman on the validity of using that particular term. most will admit that there is a wide divergence on both ideology and specific solutions-to the problems, for example...
