...beatniks were wise enough to rest their case heavily on respectable-but not square-lawyer Matthews, angel of the Gas House.

One agency set up a religious tour of Israel, complete with kosher food, tossed in a surprising fringe benefit: a special audience with Pope John XXIII on the way back...
...about his past, it would seem that Advise and Consent has already gone on too long with echoes from a decade of news headlines. But Author Drury now shows how vindictive his challenged President can be, and how vicious a Senator touched by envy, spite or just the power bug. Utah's Brigham Anderson is himself vulnerable, and when his enemies dig up a homosexual incident in his wartime past, they drive him to suicide...
