...More people are finding jobs. Damn! Nobody on Wall Street would use those exact words; they sound too hardhearted. But the essential thought is voiced by many analysts trying to explain last week's sudden bust in the stock and bond markets (which is no easy job). In extenso, their reasoning goes like this: a strong economy threatens a revival of inflation, at least in the minds of the governors of the Federal Reserve Board. It also means higher interest rates: automatically, because of rising loan demand from business and consumers, but even more because the Federal Reserve is actively...
...world politics and on his colorful past seem wan and trite. It is almost as if this supermole wanted to demystify his own legend, making double agentry seem as banal as bartending. The impression of ordinariness is reinforced by his chatty letters to Knightley, which are cited in extenso. Philby comes across as a slightly dotty old Brit, complaining about how hard it is to find "bilambees" (an Indian vegetable) in Moscow and fuming about the "preposterous" radio commentaries of "the BBC's own Smarty Cooke, Alistair of that...

...took his doctorate in musicology at the Berkeley campus of the University of California, presenting a thesis consisting of previously unpublished 15th century cyclic masses. On and offstage, Gottlieb continually seems to be wondering if he really exists, drops great polysyllables and 18-carat clichés like in extenso and in medias res, which are woofed into Ciceronian syntax with words like "risible," "emolument," and "mentation." Then he turns around, describing the group's preference to stay apart when not working. "After the performance, it's Splitsville, Daddy...
