...English Bible, its translators hope, will not only introduce the Scripture to those for whom it has been a closed book but will also freshen its meaning for those who know it well. A passage for comparison is the First Epistle General of John (see below...
...stand, Nixon is relaxed and meticulous. He is more practiced than Kennedy at endorsing all the local politicians, quick to freshen up his text with an impromptu reference (a Democratic campaign billboard in Pennsylvania last week caught his eye and gave him a handy introduction to a speech). Among the throngs of greeters (ably abetted by his constant companion, Pat Nixon), he is friendly and easy, shaking as many hands as are offered, stopping to chat frequently.

The race completely undermined Ilsa's hitherto calm confidence ("She's scared of Dawn," confided Coach Don Talbot), turned Dawn into a worldbeater.

...Brynner. as the Pharaoh, swaggering barelegged across the screen, will delight his millions of feminine admirers. Even Moses, a part in which Charlton Heston is ludicrously miscast, looks less like a man who staggers into the desert to find God than one who flies to Palm Springs to freshen up his tan. According to the script, that was the kind of fellow Moses really was, at least as a young man. There are moments, in fact, when it seems that the Seventh Command ment is the only one DeMille is really interested in; to the point where the Exodus itself...
