“I could multiply such qualifications, but to do so would be tedious. And besides, the people for whom such qualifications are made appear to be steadfastly refusing to read them. They can ignore them faster than I can type . . . I can only conclude that the members of the committee must have spent a good deal of time winding their rear ends and scratching their watches.”
