She’s beginning to annoy herself … Candice Bergen | Today 2:00 amHumming. In my later years, I have started humming, sometimes singing, all the time. And usually when alone. And my husband is humilated by it. I, myself, am humiliated by it and try to stop but can’t. It’s like a tic. Maybe it’s like smoking or using a pacifier or keeping myself company. But it’s always the same thing that I hum and I made it up. Some lame-assed tune, and it is...

They’re a team with a fantastic and long history …Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amWell, Liz seems to have a strong point of view on this (as on all else) but I, while knowing little about the Yankees, loved following the World Series. I think they are a classy, charismatic team with a few colorful characters. Derek Jeter is a natural captain. Loved watching Rivera pitch with a poker face then break into the great grin when they won. Andy...  

Katharine Hepburn and Marlon Brando had both rented the house …Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amMy first adult purchase was a house. A very quirky but fabulous house that had once been John Barrymore’s aviary where he kept exotic birds in a large skylit room that became my bedroom. Katharine Hepburn and Marlon Brando had both rented the house and it had stained-glass windows with scenes from Barrymore’s movies. It was a tiny house with a little...  

This Los Angeles girl only trusted milk from one man …Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amWe had a milkman in Los Angeles and he was the Adohr man. There was also an Arden milkman but I mistrusted him as I was an Adohr gal myself.    

Thank God, my husband walked into my apartment in an elegant pair of loafers …Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 am Handwriting doesn’t always work as two of the best and most intelligent people I know have the cursive of a cripple. My husband, however, has beautiful, graceful, sensual handwriting. It shows a level of education, the REGION in which a person is raised, intelligence and a certain intellectual organization. Or lack of. Shoes for me...  

There was a great detail that Hughes carried a paper bag of prunes!Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amI remember vividly the Clifford Irving/Howard Hughes hoax for its utter chutzpah and weird details on Hughes. Don’t remember the year but maybe the ’70s? And it was riveting. Everyone was convinced. And wasn’t that forger involved? Elmyr de Hory? They were accomplices somehow and lived in Ibiza? Then Bermuda entered into it? Or am I hallucinating...  

Afghanistan or Pakistan?Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amAfghanistan? I thought we were shifting our focus to Pakistan. That’s where Al-Qaeda is said to be hanging these days. The Taliban is supposedly no threat to the West. Unless they team up. Which they are wont to do.  

Guess what wormed its way into our brain matter? Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 amMultitasking seems to have wormed its way into our brain matter and I’m not sure that’s a good thing, but it’s tough to turn back now. What’s most distressing is multitasking when driving. Oy. That gets me nuts. Texting. Talking. Drinking. Watching TV. All the while at the wheel. Insane.   And I think it has destroyed our attention spans. Well, on top of MTV...  

Back in the day there were SI Hayakawa, then William Safire and Ken Tynan … But now? Candice Bergen | Today 12:00 am Language? Back in the day it was SI Hayakawa. Then Safire. Ken Tynan as well. And John Simon could be withering about misplaced punctuation and ungainly adverbs. But now? Not a clue.  

There should be a resolution that factors in his contributions and his ageCandice Bergen | Today 12:00 amThe Roman thing is complicated as we all know. It brings out the dark, avenging side of America, yet it is a crime. It was absolutely a criminal, indecent, amoral act and should be acknowledged and in some way paid for. But he is a brilliant, gifted artist. He is a father. And he is 75. How much time should he serve? And why is he not...
