...Moss has thought up a few nice epigrams ("Drosophila are so Mendelian"; "Promiscuity is the thief of time"), and various pleasant conceits. But he has also been fecund in pseudo-epigrams ("A doctor without a disease is like a poet without a passion--a mere strummer"), and little tepid fancies (an inefficient, effeminate angel who receives celestial rebukes from the sound-effects man whenever he says, "Oh, God.")

...Moss and Watkins are relatively colorless, Lee's independent candidacy has the same fantastic tinges as his political views.
