      Just to have the balls to spit on the man who gave him his education is quite impressive. I assume that he took the Rhodes scholarship knowing full well the source of that money. It could be that he was just an insolent bagger taking great handouts from persons regardless. Ignorant, an ingrate, or a turncoat. So many have sought that prize and to see someone who had captured that cup show contempt for the man who made it possible and in who's memory it stands is just sad.

      Oh! How delighted I am to have "found" Reynolds Price -- albeit, perhaps approaching those sparsely regretted "economies" he so generously shared. I deeply love you from afar, sir. You've awakened every childhood memory of well-chosen words, and gentle embroidery of the otherwise mundane. Off to buy those 38 books; one trusts you will not balk, having never declined a run on your writings! Oh, how I wish my mother's memories had been captured, but you've come quite close on the margins to those long, ardent-spirit-guided nights in her San Francisco Salon! Thank you~

      Afterthought - the death bed plaint of: "I only regret the economies," was a thought spiraler.

      Charlies unabashed openness was evident tonight. Haven't read any Price, but maybe I will. He claims he's good. Perhaps he is - if he's smart enough to be repeatedly published, perhaps his judgment of relative quality is endorsement enough even when it's his own.
