To cut a deal with one's conscience -- to lie, keep quiet, "not notice," hiding behind the claim that it's "for my family".
But more what I'm noticing behind the scenes, not, yet at least, on the front pages.
Only a knowing eye would have noticed, behind Tina Turner performing on "The Ed Sullivan Show," the backup singer Claudia Lennear go-going in the background.
"I don't know if you notice behind us on Fifth Avenue, but traffic's moving way too slow, drop the pedal and go," he said borrowing lyrics from "Freeway of Love".
If Pub Guy also told you that it was fine to slip said border guard a pair of Levi's and a few yankee dollars, remember real life is not a John le Carré novel; read carefully the English notice behind Homo Sovietus about the penalties for bribing officials before going ahead.
BESS KELLY, the sweet woman you may have noticed behind the cash register at the StockPot restaurant in Montclair, doesn't like the limelight, but if you ask why she has pictures of astronauts on the wall, she'll admit that they're her great-nephews and the only twins in the world to have flown in outer space.
I was too busy to notice: hiding behind work, behind "supporting her" as she returned to school, behind caring for our three young girls.
I found myself laughing to myself as I noticed Reena checking behind her after every few paces.
Helene Barone, 45, looked in her rearview mirror, noticed the vehicle behind had its headlights off and then saw a man pointing a gun at her and her passenger.
She noticed me behind the glass, and, still groggy, raised her tiny cupped hand.
