three weeks pass...

lol. would read.

"Robert Gottlieb, the celebrated editor at Simon & Schuster, Alfred A. Knopf and The New Yorker, was a pale, bookish, sensitive, rumpled and vaguely mousy young man. His first father-in-law, a roofing contractor, took a look at him and said, “If I had a son like that, I’d take him out and drown him like a sick kitten.”

"How bookish was Mr. Gottlieb? At summer camp, as a child, he arranged to have The New York Times delivered to him daily."
