...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...
...almost unrecognizable. He had expected a sweet but faintly dowdy brunette; she meets him as a startlingly glamorous blonde. They confess to each other that they lied in their letters so that they would not be married for the wrong motives. He said that he was a factory foreman with a modest income; she sent her sister's photograph...

Foreman Leslie Leland, a Vineyard Haven druggist, pledged a complete and independent investigation; many jurors were apparently in an indicting mood. Their ambitions were quickly dashed by State Superior Court Justice Wilfred Paquet, 67, a no-nonsense jurist with a reputation for running a tight courtroom.

Startled, Leland said that the answer for the grand jury was the same. His reply came as a relief to Dinis, who has become an increasingly reluctant participant...
...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...
