"I have had three careers in my life: working for Congress for 27 years, establishing and running a Washington-based think tank, and writing fiction."
- Girlie, a play by Jack Jennings
Whether to run off with her lover or stay in a difficult but comfortable marriage is the question facing the heroine of this two-act play written by Jack Jennings. - Girlie — How the play came about
“I wonder what became of the other folks?” was a comment from one of the first people to read “Girlie,” a play that I finished writing in October. - Thoughts on Being Old
To be old is to be physically weaker, a reminder that a person’s true character, not strength or beauty, is what counts. - The Three Ps — Policeman, Politician, Priest
Many young American men of Irish descent created their job careers in three particular areas — policeman; politician; priest — the “Three Ps”. Why was that? - Los Pensamientos de un Anciano
Ser anciano es ser más débil, un recuerdo que el carácter de una persona, ni fuerza ni belleza, es la cosa más importante.
