...part series in Harper's, Jeremy Larner, a novelist who helped write McCarthy's campaign speeches, takes a more critical view of McCarthy as a captive of his own personality, his obsession with style and his upbringing among German Catholics in central Minnesota.*The German immigrants, Larner writes, accented "regulation and reserve, scholastic superiority, and security in judging others who succumb to worldly experience." McCarthy's training at Minnesota's St. John's University stressed that in a God-ordered universe one gets in touch with God only through laboriously acquired "right reason." In this...
Litton's latest merger is far smaller than James Ling's $425 million J. & L. deal, and does not even involve an American concern.

Thus, when he hears the experts describe 1968 as an "average" vintage year for French and German wines, he should recognize that average actually means awful...
...loves children," but the truth of such claims can be tested by the question: how often is he seen playing with children? Like Joyce, Burgess loves to play with words, the greatest of toys allowed to grown men. English is not enough; he can play in Russian, German, Spanish and Malay, and this gives him the insight of a craft-brother to a hundred writers who have little in common but the gift and the love...
