...voted for Boulder Dam agricultural supports, and many another project that had no particular connection with the parochial interests of South Boston. Yet McCormack is an oldfashioned, frock-coat liberal, and a vastly different breed from the young, grey-flannel liberals who man the New Frontier. McCormack's liberalism is instinctive and emotional, culled from personal experience as a member of the "deserving poor." He has little use for the liberalism derived largely from books and faculty-club discussions. Such House liberals as Missouri's Richard Boi ling and New Jersey's Frank Thompson regard McCormack...
...Prayers to Allah. At the airport, Johnson was pale and apprehensive. But as Bashir materialized like a genie in the plane's door, he soon let his host know that there was nothing to dread. Wearing a jaunty karakul cap, a trimly tailored frock coat and a 500-watt smile, the camel driver accepted the onslaught of press and public with the nonchalance of a Mogul prince.

Says he defiantly: "I will try to get to the bottom of any trouble there...
...novel The Greengage Summer, which Columbia Pictures will release in the U.S. in the fall. With a trim, sylvan body, winter-sky-blue eyes and jonquil hair. 22-year-old Susannah is one of the few English girls who can seem equally natural nibbling strawberries in a May-fairy frock in The Players Restaurant at Wimbledon or sprinting eastward in a bikini on the beaches of the Mediterranean. Born in London and raised in Scotland, she met Actor Michael Wells at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, married him, now lives in a dusty flat in an unfashionable part...
