Texas' Johnson, the adroit, trend-sensing Senate Majority Leader, started the session by delivering his own "State of the Union" message to fellow Democrats, pushed a liberal-spending, twelve-point program (e.g., "bold" housing program, depressed areas bill) that included several items clearly beyond his legislative role and inside the executive area ("breathe life into the newly created space agency," "a consistent policy for Latin America").

Again and again Wouk draws on his personal experience. After describing the negative injunctions of Sabbath observance, which cuts off the outer world from Friday's sundown to "the end of twilight on Saturday," he demonstrates its positive side in terms...
