Picking up on a rumor that Mondale was about to crush the filibuster, Abourezk scoffed, "Ah, he wouldn't do that." Metzenbaum asked Senator Edward Kennedy about the same rumor; Kennedy too expressed disbelief. Mondale, meanwhile, was also busy buttonholing four Senators considered soft in their support of deregulation: Democrats Quentin Burdick of North Dakota, Wendell Ford of Kentucky and Dennis DeConcini of Arizona; and Republican John Chafee of Rhode Island. The Vice President told them that the President would see them, one by one, if they wished; all four accepted the offer and were whisked off in waiting...
...teed off against Hunter were Ron Cey, Steve Yeager and Reggie ("I'm older and more mature now") Smith. Cey's blast came with Smith on board and gave the Dodgers the same 2-0 lead they had at the end of the first half inning last night. Ah, but last night's script, as boring as any Merv Griffin Show, had quite a different finale than the eve before...
...Dirty Hands, and his ultimate failure amounts to a minor tragedy.

Ah, but these are charitable words, as further reflection demonstrates...

It was people of Swanson's ilk, we are told...
...Ah the swift vanishing of my older/ generation," Robert Lowell lamented in a sonnet not long ago, "the deaths, suicide, madness/ of Roethke, Berryman, Jarrell and Lowell." There was a justifiable pride in this facetious reference to himself, for while his contemporaries died early, Lowell seemed to thrive on middle age. He too had been humbled by madness-an experience he documented in Life Studies (1959)-but had survived to become America's most distinguished contemporary poet. When Lowell died last week of a heart attack in a New York City taxi...
