A mystified Ross was heard to complain: "He just sails around in some God damn boat." During his sabbaticals White also compiled (with Katharine) the enormously successful A Subtreasury of American Humor; he revised and updated the yellowing strictures of one of his Cornell English professors into The Elements of Style, a tiny textbook that has sold in the millions; he wrote...
