...campaign has been a study of contrasting styles. The bespectacled Taft has a patrician manner, is cool and distant; he eschews personal contact, approaching a handshake as if it were a tarantula. After a recent factory speech, Taft started to leave and a foreman had to remind him to "shake hands with some of the employees, Bob." Rhodes, the burly and gregarious son of a coal miner, is a charming, indefatigable backslapper and campaigner...

The judge asked Foreman Leland if the jury had any presentments to make. "I have nothing to present," said Leland quietly. "Not you," snapped Paquet. "Does the grand jury have anything to present?"

...tests that an actor has to face, range is crucial. Gunn impressively demonstrated his range in two vastly different off-Broadway performances. In Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, he played a middle-aging bull of a canecutter foreman who loses his job and his virile stud appeal at about the same time. Gunn made the man a blinded, shorn, bewildered Samson who wrenches at the pillars of his doom in one last mighty agony. In Daddy Goodness, a play about a religious con artist, Gunn fashioned a composite portrait of a store-front Father Divine, a Harlem dandy...
