In the course of one afternoon, one colleague invoked Tennessee Williams in explaining the timing of a joint report we manage ("As Blanche DuBois would say, we depend on the kindness of strangers"),
And another quoted Faulkner's line, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." Then, when I mentioned the previous reference, he said, "Well, it's the government--Southern Gothic is, well, kind of appropriate."
I enjoy my colleagues.
