I love me some If Books Could Kill. This is Michael and Peter talking about Jonah Goldberg's definition of (liberal) fascism:

This won’t mean much if you don’t know Mabel’s history, but she came to us exuberant and INTENSE, craving constant interaction. We were glad she bonded so quickly but also … could you dial it down a bit?

A musically perceptive friend back in the 70s said about Andy Williams, “His voice sounds like it’s pinned to the back of his throat” and I think about that whenever I hear him. His voice is technically proficient and lovely but you get the sense that he keeps it under tight control.
