Did Dorothy Parker say, ("insert witty remark here")?

Possibly. Many quotes are attributed to Mrs. Parker that she didn't really say. I suggest you read Bob Drennan's excellent book, "The Algonquin Wits: Bon Mots, Wisecracks, Epigrams and Gags" (Citadel Press, 1989).

It has pages of Vicious Circle ancedotes. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
