...marauding Indians. In 1755, at the disastrous battle before Fort Duquesne, he served as an aide to the ill-fated General Edward Braddock. Washington had two horses shot from under him (and four bullet holes shot into his hat and coat) while trying to rally the men. He was cool in action, a comrade recalls, "like a bishop at his prayers...
...enough, it is two survivors, Carter and Reagan, so different in their outlook and temperament, who share a common trait. In part because of their professional, almost impersonal skill at merchandising their personalities, they create an aura of reserve about themselves−one that reporters rarely penetrate. Against their cool responses, interrogative reporting of the Mike Wallace-Dan Rather school seems out of season, overheated and hectoring.

On her shelves, "a picture book about Marilyn Monroe. Scientology. I Ching. M.C. Escher prints. One of Heyerdahl's raft trips. A bestseller by a formidable lady...
Good Taste. In the next day's story, the weather was "cool and blustery," and "hours in wind-tossed boats" were required before the "splashdown" of the complex lighting and camera equipment that would be used to photograph the monster. Said Rines: "Who knows, it could happen tonight." It did not, and "Nessie" news vanished momentarily, but the respite was brief...
