...Rocky's decline has, quite plainly, been Conservative Goldwater. "Two months ago," says a California Republican leader, "Rockefeller seemed to have the nomination on ice. But the ice is melting fast, and now everything I hear is about Goldwater." In Missouri, which John Kennedy carried by an eyelash, several veteran observers insist that Goldwater today could not only get the state's Republican convention delegation, but could also beat Kennedy there. In Texas, State G.O.P. Chairman Peter O'Donnell has set up a National Draft-Goldwater Committee, is shoveling out carloads of stickers and buttons, organizing state...
...beery night's fling in London puts him within communicable range of the dread disease. Cyrenne is a nightclub tart with eyes as impersonal as jelly beans, and a tendency to strip to a small black egg-cup bra in the twinkling of a false eyelash.

Commanders themselves could be dispiritingly callous: MacArthur, arriving safe in Australia as his troops made their last stand in Bataan, declared airily: "That's the way it is in war. You win or lose, live or die-and the difference is just an eyelash." Too often, the difference was between the dedicated professionalism of the samurai and the bumbling optimism of U.S. commanders who maintained until the moment of attack that the Japanese would never be "stupid enough" to attack the mighty Pacific fleet and were incapable of mounting an independent carrier striking force...
