...career. His assistant, a brilliant, erratic journalist named Theodore Tilton, and the owner of the paper, H. C. Bowen, became such radical Republicans that Beecher was forced to resign. Presumably for spite, Tilton accused Beecher of having made improper proposals to Mrs. Tilton. A third person succeeded in convincing soft-hearted Beecher that he had actually wrecked Tilton's home through not having been on guard against Mrs. Tilton. Trapped into signing a memorandum which sounded like an admission of guilt, Beecher was sued by Tilton for alienation of affection. He was exonerated after a trial which cost...

The editors were not lacking in brilliance, but, are gratia artis, they eschewed such fundamental principles of journalism as might have gained them a wide and interested public. Journalism curdled their aesthetics, and the Parnassine fluid of their...

Looking down, he saw a large mass of greyish stuff, mottled and opaque. In his hands it felt and smelled like limburger cheese...
