...PROUD TOWER, by Barbara Tuchman. In The Guns of August, Historian Tuchman presented a perceptive and appalling analysis of the military catastrophe of 1914. In the present sequel, she steps back a few years and examines with equal sharpness a luxurious and unheeding Europe as it drifted toward disaster...

In the capital, where politics is everyone's chief obsession, Davis' foot-dragging has turned into news because he is the minister who currently lays claim to the unofficial title of "the President's pastor."* Lyndon Johnson, though he sometimes attends services at Episcopal, Lutheran and Methodist churches, goes most often to National City, the "national church" of his denomination...
