...like a De Gaulle or a DiMaggio or a Golda Meir, but an active hero in old age. Fiction gives us such characters from time to time, but reality is too real. The flesh-and-blood old hero may need a special logic to return to the field of conquest. Try this on for size: So much of space exists in the past (dead stars shine). Why shouldn't someone be able to retrieve the past in the future and be young again by being...
...Another conquest for the American President...
Hell hath no fury like a guilty and vicious old feudalism dying. The conquest of legal segregation and discrimination in the South is an ugly, heroic American story that ended, officially at least, with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In The Children (Random House; 783 pages; $29.95), David Halberstam takes up the narrative in early 1960, with the lunch-counter sit-ins in Greensboro, N.C., and Nashville, Tenn., that were the debut of a new civil rights generation, most of whose members were younger by five or 10 years...

Coke's peaceful near-conquest of the world is one of the remarkable phenomena of the age. It has put itself (in the phrase of a Coca-Cola executive) "always within an arm's length of desire." And where there is no desire for it, Coke creates desire. Its advertising, which garnishes the world from the edge of the Arctic to the Cape of Good Hope, has created more new appetites and thirsts in more people than an army of dancing girls bearing jugs of wine. It has brought refrigeration to sweltering one-ox towns without plumbing...
