...serious students of the Civil War era, like Pulitzer-prize-winning historian David Donald, all of the hoopla is some-what deceptive. For the most able and original American historians, according to Donald, have tended to neglect the Civil War period, leaving it to Margaret Mitchell and her followers. In the groves and glades of Academe, the war has not been fashionable...
...Blunt-spoken Donald J. Russell, 61, president of the Southern Pacific railroad, geared last week for battle. Testifying before an Interstate Commerce Commission hearing in San Francisco about the fight between the Southern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe for control of the small but strategic Western Pacific Railroad, Don Russell argued that S.P. control of the Western would eliminate "wasteful duplication of facilities."

For all his vilifying and blaspheming, he is the person who sees the truth and states it, that man had succumbed to warring, lechery, idiocy, and hybristic vainglory. Donald Harron is unforgettable in the part. But Landau may be unwise to make him pick his nose, hawk into a spittoon, and mix coffee cups with the slop; it is not easy for an audience to acknowledge the wisdom in the speech of a man with such repulsive personal habits...
