...Civil War. Henry James was suited to Edel's psychological approach--in fact demanded such treatment--because, as the editor of the James letters said, "his life was no mere succession of facts such as could be recorded and compiled by another hand; it was a densely knit cluster of emotions and memories, each one steeped in lights and colours thrown out by the rest...
...claim that the Rockeye II is solely "anti-tank" is an old one. It is an out-and-out lie. According to a 1966 Congressional hearing, "the Rockeye II is a cluster bomb which contains anti-tank and anti-personnel bomblets" (emphasis added).

Last February, using Hamburg Observatory's 32-in. Schmidt telescope, he tried to "recapture" the asteroids, which he feels may be the remaining chunks of the lost comet. To Kohoutek's surprise...
Graham preached from a bright blue $15,000 podium at second base, surrounded by the live greenery of the Braves' infield and a cluster of yellow and violet plastic flowers immediately under the platform. Each night, he strode across the field with head bowed, looking up once or twice--precisely when he reached the photographers who wanted a candid snapshot...
