A line we will not find in the next Harry Potter book: "Don't Bogart that joint, Hermione." A line that will not appear in Bill Clinton's memoirs: "It is ironic, really, that I got in so much trouble over Ms. Lewinsky but nary a word was heard about those twin sisters . . ." This Week's Contest: Come up with a line that surely will not appear in
an upcoming work. First-prize winner gets a framed original oil portrait
of John F. Kennedy donated to The Style
Invitational by Scott Weinstein of Silver Spring. This is a
truly fine portrait, in which the artist makes certain unusual anatomic
interpretations. The martyred 35th president, for example, appears to have
a goiter we do not recall. As always, we took this portrait to Paul
Richard, the First runner-up wins the tacky but estimable Style Invitational Loser
Pen. Other runners-up win the coveted Style Invitational Loser T-Shirt.
The Uncle's Pick wins the yet-to-be designed but soon-to-be- coveted "The
Uncle Loves Me" T-shirt. Send your entries via fax to 202-334-4312, or by
