Ohio Republican Congressman Sam Devine, a former Columbus prosecutor, was on the yacht Sequoia with the President and eight other conservative congressional friends last week. Devine cast his courtroom eye over the man, looking for the signs of pressure. A little older all over, thought Devine. The crow's-feet around the eyes were deeper. Gray in the presidential eyebrows. He watched Nixon's hands, an old courtroom tactic. "No tremors at all," said Devine later. "His gestures were good. When the President talked, he looked me directly in the eye...
Both the Bible and the Koran make sternly clear the manner in which injury is to be avenged. "Thou shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth," says the Book of Exodus.

According to John Gaines, owner of the farm where Cannonade was foaled...
Prescott says he wrote his journals with an eye toward their becoming the raw material for a novel, but that he realized that the market was glutted with young-man-grows-up novels, so he sat on the thing for twenty years and then decided to publish it as was, with an explanatory commentary threading the reprinted selections of the journal together. He did not think he could have duplicated This Side of Paradise, which is undoubtedly true, and he used that as an excuse to duck any obligation to turn his book into a novel...
