 TIME.com: Wicked Tongues -- Jan. 31, 1983 -- Page 1
"None of the poet's associates appears to have known her well," Quennell observes, noting that Bertrand Russell "alleged once to have seduced her," then told a friend that she was, after all, "not so bad—light, a little vulgar, adventurous, full of life." Aldous Huxley echoed the endorsement, whereas Sacheverell Sitwell denied that she was vulgar.
When are you pushing off?" Quennell writes affectionately of Artist Augustus John, with his gypsy ways and tribe of illegitimate children; John was immensely popular in his heyday, yet "had nothing of the fatuous outward bloom, the glossy patina of self-approval, that goes frequently with public fame."
Describing a colorful long-ago friend, Quennell almost casually defines a "character": "He was 'somebody,' a redoubtable human phenomenon, never totally silenced or permanently dismayed." The definition fits most of the people in Quennell's memoir, not least the author himself.

Well, one of the big pluses around here is that NYC transport normally is geared up to provide 8 million rides a day, so proportionally many more would be able to get out of the way by train, bus and boat than most American cities (think Houston) could allow for.
