en OBSOLETE, adj. No longer used by the timid. Said chiefly of words. A word which some lexicographer has marked obsolete is ever thereafter an object of dread and loathing to the fool writer, but if it is a good word and has no exact modern equivalent equally good, it is good enough for the good writer. Indeed, a writer's attitude toward
"obsolete" words is as true a measure of his literary ability as anything except the character of his work. A dictionary of obsolete and obsolescent words would not only be singularly rich in strong and sweet parts of speech; it would add large possessions to the vocabulary of every competent writer who might not happen to be a competent reader.

en My father was a television anchorman and Murrow was one of his heroes. And I have always had a fascination with that moment in history because it was one of two times that broadcast journalism had an immediate effect. The other time was when Walter Cronkite went to Vietnam,

en David was adamant that the furniture had to include steel. Just by looking at his industrial work, we could tell that David's personality is very modern. He likes clean lines and modern materials. So we took that into account when we produced our initial sketches.

en I was there to be kind of the adult - to be David Spade's dad. Which was okay, and I got to do a few things. I was on 26 shows and I managed to get 20 sketches on - either as sole writer or co-writer. So I can't say that I was completely miserable.
