...conflict-of-interest problems. His statement of assets: 1961 Chevrolet, $1,000; home in Fond du Lac, $7,200 (minus a $6,000 mortgage); cash, $500. In fact, since he quit his $125-a-week machinist's job to campaign in July, he, his wife and daughter "have been eating bean soup and peanut-butter sandwiches"; and he borrowed $1,750 from his campaign fund, and $1,500 from the bank to tide him over until he could start collecting his $30,000 annual congressional salary this month...
...performance of flinty authority, Sydney Walker plays the old Prince Bolkonski, an aristocrat who tyrannizes his nearest and dearest and who paradoxically loves and is loved by them. His dying words to his daughter, "Put on your white dress. I always liked it," have the poignant impact of mortality that only the greatest writers achieve with the simplest of sentiments.

During the difficult years of her illness, Eliot never spoke of her, but never failed to visit her once a week unless he was out of the country. She died in 1947. In 1957 he married his secretary at Faber & Faber, Valerie Fletcher, a plumply attractive woman nearly 40 years younger. He blossomed. They went dancing, held hands at plays. He even wrote love scenes into his last play, The Elder Statesman (they were eased out by the producer...
...never knew his father, he hasn't seen his bastard son for at least two years, and he can't see why he should get stuck with a black family as well as a black skin. Then one day he meets a pretty schoolteacher (Abbey Lincoln), daughter of the town's principal Negro preacher. They fall in love, and against all his self-defensive instincts the hero asks her to marry...
