   @plaguepoems
   In Halberstam's Best and Brightest ( a great book) someone says to Dean Rusk,

   SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

   you look tired
   Rusk: our kid has diphtheria and we were up all night boiling the sheets

   Person: Mr Secretary, we have people for that

     In the copy room
     my colleague found me
     kneeling on the ground
     he asked what I was doing
     and I explained
     I had knocked over
     a box of paper clips
     so I was picking them up
     but he just laughed and said
     “let someone else do that”
     and I worry the world
     is filled with people like him.
