But like many an issue, this one has died out and is forgotten by present-day writers. • ... crewmen can take their meals with their families —Sarah Ballard, Sports Illustrated, 10 Nov. 1986 • Yes, you can take tea with Edith Wharton, or at least with the actress who portrays her —Elle, June 1986 • ... only the former hustle industriously by taking power breakfasts —David Berlinski, Black Mischief, 1986 |
