...Disraeli or something, but Joe's ambition is to be a khutmul Mao. If you must know, that's a person rich Hindus hire to lie in their beds at home while they go on holiday so the bedbugs will have somebody to bite.

Most of the 700 tax-free U.S. periodicals will not feel the bite, for they carry little or no advertising and operate in the red. But a minority, including Nation's Business, the Geographic, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and Analytical Chemistry (published by the American Chemical Society), will be hard hit.

...living up to his image of himself as an intellectual Gary Grant, which is not easy "when one is from Flatbush, stands just 51 feet tall, weighs 123 pounds, can't see any too well, and has a head of odd-looking red hair." To compensate, he bites his nails, and when his supply runs out, "I bite the nails of loved ones...
