...ability, in an artificial environment, to project naturalness. It is a quality Cronkite shares not so much with other anchormen, but with Ronald Reagan. Both are sons of the Middle West who, in other surroundings and in more expensive suits, are determined to remain so. Both manage to convey the impression that "what you see is what you get." What you don't see may not be contrary to what you do see, but it is different. In both Reagan and Cronkite, there is obviously more than easygoing amiability...
...stay, much to his chagrin. In this piece, as throughout, the two use only one or two props, and remain clad in streetclothes. They pick a theme begun some time earlier in a musical that the audience, of course, doesn't see. But even without a developed plot they convey with perfect clarity the confrontation of two strangers who wake up together uncertain of each other's motives. Kean and Bundy work best together, always creating a dramatic situation rather than simply singing a duet...
BECAUSE WOLF relies so heavily on a patchwork style to convey the sketchiness of memory, trivial events are interspersed with important ones, and connected by observations both in the present, and in the context of the 1971 trip.

Unlike other autobiographies, the author claims no inherent literary value in the author's childhood per se, thus the insignificance of many of the memories becomes cloying. The attempt...
Many pictures in After Daguerre, however, convey a sense of joy in the world, a delight in vision as if it were some magic new gift, which painting had lost and would not acquire again until the triumph of impressionism. In a picture labeled simply The Hound "Balliveau," no pains have been taken with composition. The subject is tied to a barn wall. To see the picture, though, is to brood on the look of this ungainly dog as if a new species had just been invented. And in the best landscapes by Gustave Le Gray, one can almost...
...overlapping words convey an impression of unity and division. They were spoken last Sunday, during the 74th annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, as they are almost every week, at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Norfolk, Va. It is the only U.S. congregation officially listed as both a Roman Catholic and Episcopal church. Anglicanism kept a Catholic style of worship when it broke with Rome in the 16th century. Now, except for using separate altars at the consecration, parishioners recite the same liturgies, Catholic one week, Episcopal the next. From classes in religious education to church socials...
