...vigor, not just vivacity, that is called for." Senator Humphrey might have been describing a party after his own image. But as he spoke, he realized that his chief competition might well come from someone less progressive, less adventurous, less international, less vigorous and certainly less vivacious-someone like Fellow Midwesterner Stuart Symington...
...convention time. Another danger to Kennedy is the idea that his millionaire father, Boston Financier Joe Kennedy, is willing to spend any amount of money to get him elected-an idea forcefully denied by Kennedy and carefully spread by his opponents ("He's a hell of an attractive fellow," says a Meyner man, "but he's trying to buy the convention").

You've read The Great Gatsby, haven't you? Remember?"); Fitzgerald insisting on being spoon-fed by Esquire Editor Arnold Gingrich and spewing up coffee and trying to bite Gingrich...
...miracle of the middle years that even Adams did not expect, according to Samuels, was his remarkably happy marriage at 34 to 28-year-old Marian ("Clover") Hooper, a witty, independent-minded fellow Brahmin. Characteristically, Adams says not a word of wife or marriage in the Education, possibly because the twelve-year idyll was to end in Marian's suicide after her father's death. But until then Henry Adams basked in the reflected glow of the brightest and most exclusive salon keeper of the Washington of the late...
