...Brookes of Sarawak might have stepped from the pages of a Conrad novel. The first and last English family to occupy an Oriental throne, they fought pirates and hostile sultans, pacified headhunters and brought the white man's law to their cruel, vibrantly beautiful land in northwest Borneo. The Brooke rajahs ruled their Kentucky-size kingdom with the stern dignity of a Victorian paterfamilias, but with humanity and imagination as well; in the annals of colonialism, few dynasties have been so selflessly devoted to their subject's welfare. The first Brooke rajah was James, a wealthy, high-minded...
...Early this year state Republicans got wind of some politically intriguing facts about the agency of record, the John P. Kelly Co. A married daughter and an 18-year-old son of Chairman Bailey's own 50% of the outstanding stock, and Bailey's son-in-law, Conrad J. Kronholm Jr., is a member of the firm.

...Anne Schoeder made Pelagia even less a harlot, more a whimpering school-girl. Her stooped posture forced her to sing virtually through her nose and to detach each note from the next. Richard Conrad, as Nonnus, showed the best voice, but both his acting and singing were monotonous. His colleague Gerhard (Thomas Walker) lacked vocal control and similarly, Carolyn Kimball's motion between registers was very awkward...
...hearings, the quality of discussion was curiously uneven. It was clear, for example, that the radical Negro civil rights lawyer, Conrad Lynn, was eager to discuss his view that Negroes in America should arm themselves in self-defense, and to explain why Cuba's Inter-racial society might seem utopian to Americans who had suffered discrimination all their lives...
