Fritz Hollings "practically unintelligible"? So, what's new?

p>Even Southerners like me, who can blow gnats and say "howdy" at the same time, have not been able to make head ner tail of what Fritz has said for years. (And it isn't just that his accent is thick, even by South Carolina standards. I have no trouble, for example, understanding what Shelby Foote says. And his accent is at least as thick. No, Fritz's problem is that his thoughts are unordered, nearly random -- they come out as little intellectual dust devils, blown aimlessly about by Fritz's considerable ego and whim, and by his loopy understanding of the world.) His retirement bodes well for faith, hope, and clarity. br> -- Larry Thornberry br> Tampa, FL /p> p> CAPERS br> Re: James Bowman's Reform Uniformity : /p> p>I noticed a funny passage in James Bowman's piece on the NY Times
