...East Coast liberals. The last straw came on the eve of the G.O.P. Convention. At a meeting in Rockefeller's Manhattan apartment (read: Satan's throne), Nixon agreed to liberalize the G.O.P. platform, in part by adding an unequivocal civil rights plank. Goldwater compared the meeting to Neville Chamberlain's capitulation to Hitler at Munich. For the final insult, Nixon chose Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., a pedigreed symbol of the Eastern aristocrats, as his running mate...
...matter. What matters is the wreckage the girls left behind: families and friends grief-stricken and bewildered--and extremely vulnerable. Amber and Alicia were not the first students from San Pedro High School to commit suicide this year; in March, Christopher Mills, a junior, and his girlfriend Heidi Chamberlain, who went to a different school, also leaped to their death from the cliffs by the Pacific. So the second double suicide ignited fear of a chain reaction. (In fact, a few days later a 45-year-old woman jumped from the same spot but survived.) And among school administrators...

Yet TV viewers in the 1960s couldn't get enough of the neurosurgeon or of Edwards, who portrayed the combative Casey as the polar opposite of his ratings rival, the saintly Doctor Kildare (played by Richard Chamberlain). Prior to Ben Casey, Edwards was a B-movie gangster. After, he appeared in forgettable film and TV work, including the inevitable Return of Ben Casey...
Cromwell's Polonius is equally successful because comedy functions best within society's confines, and his is an unreservedly comic role. As the long-winded Lord Chamberlain and father of Ophelia, Cromwell never fails to get a laugh, as he constantly finds longer ways to say things. Particularly memorable is the scene where he takes at least a hundred lines merely to say that Ophelia is the cause of Hamlet's insanity, prompting Queen Gertrude (Mary Beth Peil) to utter the famous lines, "More matter, less...
