In his writings, we should say that he, as conspicuously as any, though with little enough expressed or even conscious sympathy, r...epresents the Reformer class, and all the better for not being the acknowledged leader of any.

But no Presiden...t, however young and energetic, could possibly have gotten around to all the ladies in Washington, New York, and Hollywood who made claim to his affections after he died.... Such was the force of Jack Kennedy and the manner of his death that anyone associated with him, even the pretenders, assumed added glamour and interest.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Why don't you put something on the phonograph, a low-down mean blue. Play it over and over again until you crack it and get sick o...f it and then go back to work. I do it all the time.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
