But, if Christine Chapel was a relative nullity, there was nonetheless an insight, canny and poignant, in the Chapel-Spock dynamic, the tension between one who longed for recognition, connection, and a return of love and one who was, by training if not by nature, incapable of delivering those things.

But they carry little meaning on today's internet, dominated by astroturfing (front groups pretending to be grassroots citizen groups), search engine optimization (the calculated gaming of search results), and canny lobbyists and public relations firms creating sites that pose as academic think tanks (with a roster of play-for-pay academics).

In this sense, and also in the canny and sometimes moving choices of inspirational figures in the balconies, I suspect the speech was effective, that it might help lift Trump temporarily upward from his mean of 38 percent approval toward the "we're holding the House by our fingernails" promised land of 44 percent.

"Steve Pink, the director, and a trio of dementedly scholarly screenwriters (Josh Heald, Sean Anders and John Morris) load up every scene with more jokes than necessary — visual allusions, verbal flourishes and plain old fall-on-your-face slapstick — but their excess proves to be a canny strategy," A. O. Scott wrote in The Times in 2010.

Jamison, who is the author of a novel, The Gin Closet, and a lauded collection of essays, The Empathy Exams, is preternaturally canny about the so-called "confessional" genre she has chosen to write in, sidestepping most of its potential pitfalls—such as an atmosphere of claustrophobic solipsism—while retaining its aspects of immediacy and beguilingly unhip self-revelation.

" So the death of the author is something of a problem for the Death of the Author: DeWitt's story is a canny deconstruction of the theoretical nostrum, and ends with the sparklingly true joke that Roland Barthes's writings are like "the witty, iconoclastic works of Hume and Voltaire," and that "Boswell would have gone to the deathbed of Barthes.

Natalie Livingstone's lively chronology of one storied manse and its canny chatelaines, "The Mistresses of Cliveden: Three Centuries of Scandal, Power, and Intrigue in an English Stately Home," shows that even when they stayed put, majestic properties like Cliveden continually shapeshifted as leading figures of successive ages took them over while jockeying for position on England's chessboard.

These performers did not adopt the ironic stance of the comic as outsider—in contrast to Pryor, who, at the start of his career, worked to mimic mainstream comics like Bill Cosby and Johnny Carson, and whose raunchier, "realer" mid-career style was in fact a canny melding of street cadence, ardent confession, and the cool, Catskills-descended presentation of those earlier models.

Yet a review of the 113 race, drawn from dozens of interviews with aides, advisers and adversaries, makes plain that Mr. Bloomberg's political origin story owes to almost supernaturally improbable conditions — a blend of searing tragedy, canny check-writing and a string of flukes so politically fortuitous that his Democratic rival began wondering if the New York Yankees were conspiring against him.

" (It's telling that in America, executive presence is still associated with straight hair, a perception that black women and others with naturally curly hair have had to fight for decades.)

No doubt he was, in his usual incoherent, self-aggrandizing way, merely drawing attention to parallels between his surprise campaign and Britain's populist-fueled decision to leave the European Union: In both cases, so the received wisdom goes, simmering resentment among a forgotten, disparaged section of the public was stirred up by canny populists and visited defeat and humiliation on the complacent, smug political establishment.

One of the reasons many in the West have heard of Zen but not any other big Japanese Buddhist sect is that from around the turn of the 20th century, canny Zen advocates worked with allies in the United States and elsewhere to present it as the answer to Westerners' prayers: Meditation promised direct spiritual experience, shorn of Christianity's increasingly unpalatable doctrines and institutional authority.

She has been described as "a living, breathing Barbie doll" (according to former White House aide Cliff Sims) but also as a women-focused job creator, as a moderating influence on the president, as a canny envoy to voters and lawmakers alike and as an influence-hoarding self-dealer with a short list of successes who is unafraid to leverage her position as first daughter during screaming matches with other staffers.

In subsequent years, Rita's music career has sometimes looked to an outsider like an afterthought: one that ricocheted between unexpected gems like 2015's infectious Charli XCX duet "Doing It" and misguided moments like the same year's Chris Brown collaboration "Body on Me." Because of all this, I'm super-intrigued to find out what Rita is like IRL: is she the ultimate pop culture operator, or an uncommonly canny chancer?

It has a fluidity, and a canny balance between mordant humor and Gothic adolescent drama, that you'd more commonly find in a British or American series, and it's not hard to imagine it on Freeform or the CW. But it's better than that would suggest, or at least different — less slick, more serious about its ideas, more sensitive in its depiction of a lonely teenager coming into his own.

Through a canny combination of his personal racism, being dumb as a bar of soap, and coming to his own idiosyncratic politics largely through watching Fox News, Trump is tuned into the mind of a particular kind of Republican-voting Average Joe just a little bit more than your average crinkled Washington toff, who would never think of eating McDonalds when they could be ordering from The Palm.

Releasing the gloomy acoustic tapes also implies a spurious view of the original album as a raw expressionist howl of pain — Dylan, in the midst of divorce, baring his tortured soul in a plaintive breakup song cycle — which may indeed be true but ignores the complexity of how his canny ability to simulate a howl of pain dovetails with his skill at constructing cultural moments and assuming personae.

"Picnic at Hanging Rock" is a rare novel that refuses to provide a resolution to its central question (though after Lindsay's death, and following intense public demand, a last chapter—better omitted, said her canny editor in the 1960s—was released in 1987.) It was Patricia Lovell, a producer, who first thought that the dark subject matter and otherworldly natural landscape would work well on the big screen, and approached Lindsay for the rights.

What made it fun was the essential spirit of Jackson's canny showmanship reflected in every silvered, patent-leather, vinyl, mirrored, frogged, fringed, sequined and Vegas-ready garment (shown on both men and women; the famous Balmain army is coed.) Mr. Rousteing's was a show that made wearing white socks with your two-tone patent leather brothel creepers suddenly seem cool somehow, while also presenting a compelling case for dressing like a disco ball.

The way the guitar chords line up with the big punchy drumslams on "Jammin' Me," the way the ebullient jangleriff on "Kings Highway" comments on and elongates the joy implicit in the chorus, the way the crunchy guitars in "I Need to Know" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance" bite at his heels, mocking him, highlighting the limits of his narrative persona and thus widening the song's scope — these are functionalist moves, and the instincts of a canny pop craftsman.
