My Twitter buddy @imagethief turned me on to Kirk's ... I had been using Mrs. Meyers before but Kirk's is better, a lot better. It lathers nicely, rinses cleanly, doesn't dry out your skin and isn't perfumed in any way. It's great soap. I pay $3.29 for a three pack. Chairman recommended!

Praise in Public, Rebuke in Private
From George Wilson's appearance on Booknotes in 1989:
"I think that American soldiers are American soldiers whether they be marines or infantrymen. And I have no worries about them running and letting us down. I have some worries about whether they are well enough lead. It seems to me we've gotten into this management syndrome where you give a guy a Rifle Company for a year or year and a half and then you put him in a Staff job then you send him to charm school you can't get get good leading troops and winning battles with all this turbulence at the top."

Invidious Urbanity
From Roger Kennedy's appearance on Booknotes in 1989:
"LAMB: Monitor Radio -- there's some in our audience, like me, who remember Monitor Radio. Whatever happened to that? Why didn't it survive?
KENNEDY: Because in a commercial system, the notion that you could talk about a story as long as the story merits simply is unacceptable. Some things are worth talking about for, my goodness, four minutes or even six.
LAMB: Or even an hour.
KENNEDY: Yes, miraculously. Well, it's crazy. How are you going to get the commercial bites in there?
LAMB: When did it die?
KENNEDY: We fell off that train. Gosh, I don't remember because the management changed and we all departed in about '58. It may have gone on after that.
LAMB: Oh, it did. I remember.
KENNEDY: We didn't feel it was exactly the same."
