Irrational Thought

I started to read Elmer Rice's autobiography, Minority Report--because I'm going to be giving a talk on one of his plays, Counsellor at Law, which was made into a movie--which I will be showing at a meeting of a men's club devoted to movies--good writer--his lines have a nice rhythm, which you would expect from a playwright (he wrote Street Scene and the Adding Machine)--

I read that he wrote a play with Dorothy Parker--

I've always had a crush on Dorothy Parker--(never met her, of course)

And I felt a pang of jealousy--did Rice and DP have a romance?
