...stood, his white-knuckled hands clutching the sides of his lectern, to face the press and live national TV in his first presidential news conference. His performance-cool, controlled, knowledgeable-was hard to fault, as was his matter-of-fact handling of the return of imprisoned U.S. Airmen Freeman Bruce Olmstead and John McKone (see The Cold...

The characters are old Cambridge ladies "in black woolens," young Cambridge lovers "who link, unlink, attach, detach," professors "with owlish eyes, benign white features, glossy skin, and crystal-clear clock-work within," a townie "with raw brown eyes, red hands, warts, weatherbeaten levis, and a real beery leer," and even a Radcliffe girl ("Something from...
