...prominent editor, a leading art dealer, a playwright and producer. But he was also consumed with self-loathing-and with sufficient reason ("I always," he writes, "had a little too much dung on my soul"). He drank prodigiously (he could down a full bottle of whisky before breakfast), swindled his friends indiscriminately, and records with obvious relish how he gulled the daughter of a Presbyterian minister into a marriage of convenience only to desert her two months later for a homosexual alliance with a boy he met in California. A collaborator with the Germans after the fall of France...
...Unopened Paper. All the while, Scranton stayed silent, telling nobody of his telephone talk with Ike. From the breakfast, he went to Cleveland's KYW-TV studios for his Face the Nation date. During his appearance, he kept his announcement of active candidacy, written on a twice-folded sheet of white paper, unopened on the table in front of him. For half an hour-and later in a press conference-he hemmed, hawed and hedged, adding little to the position he had taken for weeks.

He was the last to reach Parliament, where the other Congress Party members were already gathered beneath the high dome of the central hall. In a soft, reedy voice, tiny (5 ft., 112 lbs.) Shastri promised to carry on Nehru's work. Then he drove to the Jumna River to pray at the site where Nehru had been cremated...
Timmy wounds his mother by forgetting that waffles used to be his favorite breakfast dish and enrages his father by refusing to attend Mass. More threateningly, he has sensed some of the sources of his parents' snarlingly bad relationship and is eager to discover more. The revelations come steadily but not patly. The frustrations of wife and life have made John irascible, intolerant and bitter. Nettie is sad-eyed, stiff-bodied, and given to sulky silences. She has ruled the family by veto power; he, in turn, has mutilated his wife's heart with incessant drinking...
