a modern syntactic marvel

[Jonathan Lighter]

David Gates on Ken Burns, in Newsweek (Sept. 24, 2007), p. 55:


"As he's often said, the early death of his mother determined both his life
and his life's work - 'though I don't want to dime-store-psychology it too
much.'"

But perhaps I'm too easily impressed.
