...Senator's awe was shared by nearly everyone else the Nixons feted during three nights of receptions for Congressmen and their wives last week. Invited into the family rooms-which until a few years ago were almost as private as the inner sanctum of the Winter Palace in Lhasa-most visitors boggled. A few noted subtle changes.

...pinnacle of his art without measuring himself against the greatest role in English-speaking drama. The great Hamlets belong to the most exclusive club in the theater. They are the touchstones of dramatic art, and no one who cares about the the ater utters their names without awe...
