...have incorporated ourselves as the Chuck Jones Fan Club of America, Chester A. Arthur Post Number One, gathered the other day for our annual Christmas lunch, presided over by the distinguished author Stefan Kanfer, whom People magazine designated as "The Sexiest Man Alive" in 1947, and by the distinguished columnist John Leo, who is also cute as a button.

Nelson was an old-school journalist who never missed a deadline, but he had a fanciful streak--he taught himself to play guitar on a long flight back from Latin America with Henry Kissinger (later, he picked up the balalaika).
