... Will was a "regular guy." His shy grin, easy manner, and total absence of sham endeared to Americans of all backgrounds. He had no pretensions, and his pleasures were simple: he liked to ride horses, rope cattle, and read the papers. In fact he often said, "I only know what I read in the papers." In this way, he tried to show that he wasn't a Washington insider; he got his information out of the newspapers, just like regular folk. During the Depression, many people were worried about what was going on in Washington. When Will pointed out some politican who said one thing and did another, or criticized some program in Washington he didn't approve of, he'd disquise his criticism behi ...

As he later started about Boucher's, "Diane au bain": "it was the first picture to thrill me, and I've continued to love it all my life as one does love one's first loves" (Tyler, 37). In 1862, he ...

... in his memories. It started like the soft but noticeable sound of white noise on the radio, but soon grew into voices. He began constantly hearing the dreadful and horrible screams as if he was there, seeing the great white light.

What had he done on his path to greatness? How could something he felt so right about in the beginning feel so wrong now?
