...wrote George Bernard Shaw, 89, of Artist George Fredric Watts, who would be 137 if alive today. Last week a British biography of Watts arrived in the U.S. (The Laurel and the Thorn, by Ronald Chapman). Along with it came a Shavian review in the London Sunday Observer. The book proved that it took six women to give frail, flowing-haired Painter Watts the feather bed existence his art required. Shaw's review proved that one of the six, auburn-haired actress Ellen Terry, means a lot more to 89-year-old Shaw-even today-than she ever...
...aren't particularly interested in Mr. Orton's [book], but we ARE interested in your anonymous book critic's wonderful and incomplete saga of Angela and Carrie Chapman Katz. . . . We long to know more about Angela and her daughter . . . their lives previous to the universal demolition, a chronicle we hope will be salted with plenty of the gifted ladies' ideas and conversation.

At the moment when civilization was whiffed out, they had been working in the stacks of the New York Public Library on Author Katz's new book, Down with Work-The Nuclear Physics of Economic Democracy, and perhaps owed their freak escape from the blast to the deadening effect of so many books...
...pendulum regularity so often seen among psychoneurotics as 20th-century civilization reached its brilliant apogee. Her grimed, lined face suggested that of a ravaged Nefertiti,-and she gazed upon the general obliteration with the self-conscious superiority of the implacable progressive. At her feet, sprawled on her stomach, Carrie Chapman Katz was devouring a book and the gristle on an uncooked thighbone. Both women were completely bald-the result of radioactivity. They were also in the last stages of hysterical fatigue, for day & night they had to fight off assault waves of rats, whose fecundity seemed to be increased...
