...replaced nearly all of Adlai's aides, the President offered neither explanation for the change nor praise for their past performance. That task fell to Goldberg, who paid graceful tribute to Stevenson's "old guard," adding: "We did not feel we had the right to exact further arduous service from people who had done so much...
...played by Spanish Matador Miguel Mateo, 26, known to aficionados as Miguelin, who gives the role a surly, feverish immediacy that sometimes lacks subtlety but never lacks sting. The quasi-fictional Miguelin has no dream of glory at the outset.

...organized to affirm, to assert in ways that are "refreshingly radical," and to interrogate further a group of cultural and historical aspirations which we believe we share. This, in a world and a country whose affairs are as confused as ours, is an arduous, conflicted, and often painful task. The rational task is made all the more difficult because, when we dare to think that we might be coming to terms with others as human beings, we discover that basic terms of our discussion--the "racial" definitions that have brought us thus far through history--themselves divide us emotionally into...
