...magnificently feral, dangerous precisely because he is a wounded animal clawing at the specter of death. One waits for the Olivier howl, and it comes-but not as the inhuman scream of the blinded Oedipus, or as his trumpet call to glory in Henry V: "God for Harry, England, and St. George!" In words charged with pain and hurtling toward frenzy, Olivier vengefully announces that he wants a divorce in order to "unite my destiny with that of a woman who together with devotion to her husband will also bring into this household youth, and may I say, a little...
Buckley Sr. subjected his children to a rigorous, if haphazard education. Unimpressed by the schools as he moved from Venezuela to France to England and back to the U.S. (Sharon, Conn., where Mrs. Buckley Sr. still lives), he stressed education at home.

The slow-motion press stalks him with sentences and paragraphs, the unexamined grammar of timid minds: "Would you say that you care about people? Are you protesting against certain things? How do you see the art of the folksinger in contemporary society?" Dylan retreats as his words advance: "How can I answer that question...
...addition to delaying the opening of Mather House, an extended wait before cuts could also mean that more will have to be cut. New England construction costs are now rising faster than those in other sections of the country, Trottenberg said. He blamed that on the large amount of new construction going on at this time in New England...
