Love Trouble Is My Business- “President Reagan resembled a bashful cowboy the other day when he was asked about the apparent collapse of the ‘Star Wars' talks with the Soviet Union. . . .

At his side, murmuring something through the fixed smile that seems required of American political spouses, Mrs. Reagan was overheard prompting him: ‘We’re doing everything we can.’ . . . Out there in . . . the President’s mountainside retreat, subjects such as the Soviet Union seem to haunt Mr. Reagan the way vows to read Proust dog other Americans at leisure.”

This may be the only time in history in which the words “Mr. Reagan” and “read Proust” will appear in the same sentence.

Geoffrey Stokes in the Village Voice.

In the beginning was the mob, and the mob was bad. In Gibbon’s 1776 “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” the Roman mob makes regular appearances, usually at the instigation of a demagogue, loudly demanding to be placated with free food and entertainment (“bread and circuses”), and, though they don’t get to rule, they sometimes get to choose who will.
