The Complete History of Adam Panflick: "Orlando was was eating shepherd’s bread and drinking Vernaccia Lido Del Sole, watching village boys kick a red ball back and forth on the beach. The sun was climbing gently over Monte Moro. Orlando thought to himself that there could never be a more pleasant day. (Not unlike my feeling in Manhattan on September 11 — a glorious morning — in the moments before the Towers went down.)"

I can remember it as if it was yesterday

Adam Becomes a Father, Finishes Seminary and Becomes a Professional Journalist 1961 - Associated Content from Yahoo! - associatedcontent.com: "Life with Ganya proceeded happily, mainly from supper on. It can be said they lived with Jean Shepherd. Jean Shepherd was on 45 minutes each weekday night on WOR radio. Ganya and Adam sat expectantly through fifteen minutes of news, awaiting the theme music. There it was! Then came Shepherd."

We have no Jean Shepherd now and for that matter no Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. But the coming years will bring it all back. Comedy is what becomes fully flowered when there is no more capacity for tears. That requires a clearer head than our society has bequeathed us with its odd approach to the drug problem. We are drenched in drugs and spending billions to suppress the whole thing. Kind of like war.
