...modern person. Part of the unacceptability of the classical myths as metaphor for modern life seems to stem from their very inaccessibility to most people, who are first not scholars, and second, are simply unable to divest themselves of the bewildering multiplicity of systems, of artifical organizations that direct our lives, serve as metaphors for themselves and are extra-human. Bergman reveals those human realities--love, doubt, shame--that have been so sadly buried in complexity, yet in a context comprehensible to any modern person who thinks and feels, or wants to think and feel.

In his final economic message, President Johnson asked for Europe's help in revising the rules "so that they no longer give a special advantage" to Europe...
...catastrophe along the campaign route, the trivia and little human interest stories which made such interesting copy for the newspapers last spring become pretty boring. "On the final Sunday, Kennedy spent several hours back in the District of Columbia, which also was to vote the next Tuesday in a direct Kennedy-Humphrey test. The triumphal hour was saddened when a lead car struck the dog of a twelve-year-old girl. As the child stood numbly next to her pet at the sidewalk curb, Kennedy jumped from his car, stroked the animal and consoled the girl," Witcover wrote, "and Ethel...
