...only three refusals. The author now understands why. "To live on borrowed time," she writes, "to wait in vain for the doctors to make their rounds, lingering on from visiting hours to visiting hours, looking out of the window, hoping for a nurse with some extra time for a chat, this is the way many terminally ill patients pass their time. Is it then surprising when such a patient is intrigued by a strange visitor who wants to talk to her about her own feelings?" From these feelings, freely given, the seminar has been able to trace the five successive...
...always clear or correct or turned with much style, is supposed to be uncommonly frank. Witness the current explosion of four-letter words and the explicit discussion of sexual topics.

"When you interviewed him, he was always interviewing you," recalls White. "You got the impression that he had been isolated for a long time. He would ask questions about what San Francisco looked...
...phantom. He has granted only one interview, a session with CBS' Walter Cronkite before the Apollo II launch, reportedly for a five-figure fee. He is seen only in telephoto glimpses: walking practically unnoticed on the University of Texas campus, going into the Johnson City Bank for a chat with A. W. Moursund, his old friend and business partner. He turns up horseback riding on the ranch, inspecting his herd of Herefords, watching a cattle sale at the Round Mountain auction ring. In short, he has cut himself off from all appearances where he would be the center...
