He sure does. Who said vaudeville's dead? The higher Hyde reaches, the lower the comedy gets.
Ol' Henry really tore the cover off his Bartlett's Familiar Quotations yesterday. As the NY Times put it: "Hyde compared his team of prosecutors, or 'managers,' to Henry V's 'band of brothers' at Agincourt. And he dipped deep into his oratorical reservoir for quotations from Charles de Gaulle and Terence Rattigan, Septimius Severus and Horace Mann, Edward Gibbon and Saul Bellow." Not to mention "the old Italian saying" Henry cited: "You may dress the shephard in silk; he will still smell of the goat." Of course, Henry himself is quite the dab hand at the epigram, urging his colleagues not to resort to "the Air Wick of a censure resolution" -- a comment surely destined for the *next* edition of Bartlett's.
