...noted that the President must also serve as a national "scoutmaster, Delphic oracle, hero of the silver screen [today, that would read 'TV tube'] and father of the multitudes." In addition, says Historian Sidney Hyman, he must possess "animal energy, a physical capacity for long and sustained attention to detail, the power to endure bores," as well as "a will to decide," and a "sense of tragedy" that results when men seek to do good, but inadvertently achieve evil ends...
...helped save many Administration bills, and last month it helped the Democratic majority push through the biggest school-aid-authori-zation bill in history. By the time he takes the floor with a bill, Morse, No. 2 Democrat on the Labor and Public Welfare Committee, knows not only every detail in the bill but also who will oppose it-and just when he must compromise.

But informal polls indicate that an increasing number of secretaries and taxi drivers are coming to like...
Whenever a children's classic has been blessed with great illustrations, a film version of the story almost always seems like a betrayal of trust. No movie could ever match the sweep and detail of N. C. Wyeth's paintings for Treasure Island, and Tenniel's droll grotesques for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland remain as much a part of the book's charm as Alice herself...
