...ladylike was Kerr (pronounced "car")? Three times the New York Film Critics' Circle named her best actress prize, and two of those awards came for playing nuns, in Black Narcissus in 1947 and Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison a decade later. (The third was as the wife of sheepherder Robert Mitchum in the 1960 The Sundowners.) How congenial? In 1956 she was given a Hollywood bauble called the Golden Apple Award as Most Cooperative Actress...

Family members are enlisted to help watch over these men, who are strongly encouraged to start families of their own. Having children, the thinking goes, lessens the temptation to rejoin the jihad, which is why the program makes available upwards of $20,000 for an ex-detainee's wedding...
...Students from SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) began pressing in around his car and rocking it, side to side. McNamara, thinking he could reason with them, left his car and attempted a kind of lecture. But they would not listen to the person David I. Halberstam ’55 later unapologetically called “a fool.” McNamara, sensing danger, fled through a Quincy House door, and was escorted to the Yard through an underground tunnel...
