“I hope you don’t have friends who recommend Ayn Rand to you. The fiction of Ayn Rand is as low as you can get re fiction. I hope you picked it up off the floor of the subway and threw it in the nearest garbage pail. She makes Mickey Spillane look like Dostoevsky.”

"Well poor old Jack [Kennedy].  I hope he gets elected.  I think King Kong would be better than Nixon.  We didn't see any of it [presumably the famous debate], having no television, but one night I listened for a spell on the radio when we had company who must hear it.  Fortunately the company soon left to seek out a television so we went to bed.
