...First Lady, zealous about her husband's fortunes, is an intimidating figure to many Administration insiders. But not to Deaver, who uses his partnership with her to push projects with the President. She places unlimited trust in Deaver and is candid about what is on her mind. He in turn works to protect her interests as much as he does the President's. Says one associate who knows both of them personally: "Nancy doesn't tell the President everything. But she's not afraid to tell Mike anything. They're like crossed fingers." Together they...

The Americans were further encouraged in their mission by the effective leader of the country, Army Commander in Chief Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, a zealous friend of the U.S. and sworn enemy of the Sandinista regime...
...years, scholars and zealous readers have heard confirmed rumors about the typographical mistakes in Ulysses. The first person to notice them was the author himself. Shortly before his epic novel appeared in February 1922, James Joyce wrote an editor: "I an extremely irritated by all those printer's errors." They were, in part, his own fault. An obsessive reviser, Joyce scrawled some 100,000 additional words in the margins of galleys as they were sent to him for proofreading.
