...purpose, and Harvard reluctantly proceeded. Some the walls and roof were in place; Wadsworth and the workmen spread a bouquet, gave thanks that "no life was lost, nor person hurt," and concluded with the 127th Psalm. The thousand pounds was gone, however, and the Corporation made a more candid appeal to the legislature, emphasizing the President's grievous state. He had spread his family among different homes and his belongings among different barns, and despite his exalted post had lived this way for a year. The General Court was unimpressed...
...delicately wrought signpost to the spiritual life is a small book, apparently written some time in the mid-19th century and published in Russian under the title: Candid Narratives of a Pilgrim to His Spiritual Father. Its author is unknown, its exact date uncertain. It made its first appearance in manuscript form in the hands of one of the famed monks of Mount Athos. The abbot of St. Michael's Monastery at Kazan, Russia, discovered it, copied it, and it appeared in 1884. Though one of the classics of Russian Orthodoxy that sounds a note often heard in Tolstoy...
Magazine-Concept. Committed to still more spectaculars between now and June, Weaver last week was candid: "We're still in the learning process. The advertisers are still on the sidelines watching and waiting. We think the whole pattern will create a psychology among program buyers to put the heat on us to expand. So far this is not true."

But the critics, after a leisurely look, generally approved of its color harmonies: the pinkish paleness of face and hands, the rich black of the clothes, and the strangely appropriate tarnished golden background. Decreed the Times: "A powerful, penetrating image...
Analyst v. Butterfly. This extraordinary diary is Henri Beyle's completely candid dialogue with himself between 1801 and 1814, from the age of 18 to 31. Diarist Beyle permitted himself no second thoughts, following his own basic rule "not to stand on ceremony and never to erase." He put it down simply, quickly, directly, without ornamentation, racing on the wing of the event, often dashing off notations in telegraphic French and dotting it with unlikely Italian and improbable English ("She did can well perform and not be applaused"). Diarist Beyle's spontaneous self-communion is raw, inchoate, crackling...
