He had been her husband's college friend;was now a journalist, and in no sense a society man or "a man about town," which were, perhaps, some of the reasons she had never met him.

I was answering questions at a town hall meeting in Wisconsin the other day and a young man raised his hand, and I figured he'd ask about college tuition or energy or maybe the war in Iraq.

Be honest enough to own it, and that what I said in the town was true, though your fancy-man was so up about it - hey, my sly one?
