I was at Harper & Row when Brad Miner was there. I remember he said at a sales conference rehearsal that he had wanted to call the book he was describing (
Up from Liberalism, I think) "Did You Ever See a Dream Walking?"
I didn't exactly hear a roar of hilarity from the assembled staff, the sour old liberals, but that was a very funny line. Brad was unappreciated there, of course, as he says.
