Lanterns and Lances 'For God, for Country and for Yale,' the outstanding single anti-climax in the English language. Time Editing should be, especially in the case of old writers, a counseling rather than a collaborating task. The tendency of the writer-editor to collaborate is natural, but he should say to himself, "How can I help this writer to say it better in his own style?" and avoid "How can I show him how I would write it, if it were my piece?" Memo to The New Yorker With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs. Quotation from New York Post My opposition [to interviews] lies in the fact that offhand answers have little value or grace of expression, and that such oral give and take helps to perpetuate the decline of the English language.

You're driving too fast!" said Mrs. Mitty. "What are you driving so fast for?" "Hmm?" said Walter Mitty. He looked at his wife, in the seat beside him, with shocked astonishment. She seemed grossly unfamiliar, like a strange woman who had yelled at him in a crowd. "You were up to fifty-five," she said. "You know I don't like to go more than forty. You were up to fifty-five." Walter Mitty drove on toward Waterbury in silence, the roaring of the SN202 through the worst storm in twenty years of Navy flying fading in the remote, intimate airways of his mind. "You're tensed up again," said Mrs. Mitty. "It's one of your days. I wish you'd let Dr. Renshaw look you over." Walter Mitty stopped the car in front of the building where his wife went to have her hair done. "Remember to get those overshoes while I'm having my hair done," she said. "I don't need overshoes," said Mitty. She put her mirror back into her bag. "We've been all through that," she said, getting out of the car. "You're not a young man any longer." He raced the engine a little. "Why don't you wear your gloves? Have you lost your gloves?" Walter Mitty reached in a pocket and brought out the gloves. He put them on, but after she had turned and gone into the building and he had driven on to a red light, he took them off again. "Pick it up, brother!" snapped a cop as the light changed, and Mitty hastily pulled on his gloves and lurched ahead. He drove around the streets aimlessly for a time, and then he drove past the hospital on his way to the parking lot.

[published in The Columbia Companion to the Twentieth Century Short Story , Columbia University Press, 2001] JAMES THURBER 1894-1961 by Robert H. Bell Chicago Tribune , he settled in New York City and began writing for the fledgling New Yorker Magazine. Thurber won renown as the quintessential New Yorker humorist, the heir of Robert Benchley and peer of E. B. White, with whom he collaborated on the 1929 best-seller Is Sex Necessary? , a satiric spoof of self-help manuals. Books such as My Life and Hard Times (1933) found a large, appreciative audience in America and England. His character Walter Mitty became an archetype of the yearning Romantic, hen-pecked husband, and put-upon citizen. In 1945, his retrospective collection of humorous writings and drawings, The Thurber Carnival solidified and expanded his reputation. He was married twice, once to Althea Adams in 1922, and to Helen Wismer in 1935. Despite eye operations, near total blindness after 1941, heavy drinking, and increasing gloom about contemporary life, Thurber remained remarkably prolific and popular until his death in 1961. My Life and Hard Times , which includes such comic masterpieces as "The Night The Bed Fell" and "The Day the Dam Broke." Recounting "those bewildering involvements for which my family had, I am afraid, a kind of unhappy genius" ("A Sequence of Servants"), Thurber depicts eccentricities, his own and those of his ludicrous relatives, with affection, amusement, clinical detachment, and understated irony. The spontaneous overflow of flustered feelings is recollected in tranquillity: "Until a man can quit talking to himself in order to shout down the memories of blunderings and gropings," remarks Thurber in "A Note at the End" of

William James See Also: Apostle author Coyote State criminal ... writer Easton Bible Dictionary Definition: (1.) The son of Zebedee and Salome; an elder brother of John the apostle. He was one of the twelve. He was by trade a fisherman, in partnership with Peter (Matt. 20:20; 27:56). With John and Peter he was present at the transfiguration (Matt. 17:1; Mark 9:2), at the raising of Jairus's daughter (Mark 5:37-43), and in the garden with our Lord (14:33). Because, probably, of their boldness and energy, he and John were called Boanerges, i.e., "sons of thunder." He was the first martyr among the apostles, having been beheaded by King Herod Agrippa (Acts 12:1, 2), A.D. 44. (Comp. Matt. 4:21; 20:20-23). (2.) The son of Alphaeus, or Cleopas, "the brother" or near kinsman or cousin of our Lord (Gal. 1:18, 19), called James "the Less," or "the Little," probably because he was of low stature. He is mentioned along with the other apostles (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15). He had a separate interview with our Lord after his resurrection (1 Cor. 15:7), and is mentioned as one of the apostles of the circumcision (Acts 1:13). He appears to have occupied the position of head of the Church at Jerusalem, where he presided at the council held to consider the case of the Gentiles (Acts 12:17; 15:13-29: 21:18-24). This James was the author of the epistle which bears his name.
