It's all downhill from here. (Incidentally, William Safire about a hundred years ago wrote a column about that expression; things going "downhill" can be a positive or a negative, depending on use. English. Go figure.) Speaking of figures [here I go again, with the parens, or brackets], Ralph Keyes, in The Quote Verifier book, says that that "15 minutes of fame" quote by Andy Warhol is one of "the most quoted, and misquoted, observations of modern times." Keyes notes that the original Warhol quote came from a catalog for a 1968 Stockholm show. For those keeping score, it goes like this: "In the future everybody will be world-famous for fifteen minutes." Hmm. does that mean everybody at the same time? Or is it your turn now? Anyway, thanks again to everybody, both those folks I hadn't heard from before and loyal readers as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792222.post-1153176503998248882006-07-17T18:48:00.000-04:002006-07-17T18:48:00.000-04:00YAY for getting Bestest Blog!YAY for getting Bestest Blog!PhoenixHearsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310547874417604117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29792222.post-1153166856533583622006-07-17T16:07:00.000-04:002006-07-17T16:07:00.000-04:00But how do you leave a comment in a hard copy news...But how do you leave a comment in a hard copy newspaper?
