Other Americans disagree. Their side of the argument is presented by the junior Senator from Delaware, John Williams. This small-town chicken-feed dealer with a mousy look and a whispering voice has almost nothing in common with the great prosecutors and muckrakers of U.S. history, with Lincoln Steffens or Tom Walsh. Both he and they, however, did more than expose individuals; they exposed systems of corruption. As Harry Truman says, rascals are always around. But as John Williams says, the smug tolerance of rascals is not always around-and that smugness shocks Williams more than the presence of some...
...John got his feet out from under his father's table. He went to work in a brother-in-law's general store, and soon afterward decided to go in business for himself. Sussex County is chicken country, and John thought Millsboro needed a chicken-feed supplier. He and a brother borrowed a few hundred dollars, part from their father, part from a bank, and started the Millsboro Feed Co. It was no bonanza, but it grew steadily.

He was an admired literary critic and, indeed, has been compared, because of their common elegance, with Matthew Arnold...
...Paris. The characters range from a little girl, who does not go home with her report card, to a psychotic sculptor, "a deamer, tied to the shadow of his dreams," who slits the throats of lovely young women. As the film progresses, the sub-plots start to feed back into each other. Where the spearate threads ran parallel, they begin weaving together, losing their more unique characteristics and emeging into an overall picture of a functioning city. Where La Ronde was a circle, Under the Paris Sky is a tapestry...
