BLOOD ON THE DOVES, by Maude Hutchins. An eerie, fascinating journey into the depths of an insane mind, told with a grace and skill that transform psychiatry into living literature...
Nude Shakes. Far beyond New York, there was wistful talk of Lindsay among Republicans hungry for a dynamic presidential candidate. Many noted the passing similarities between J.V.L. and J.F.K., a common legacy of grace and style, a clear-eyed toughness, a springy vigor.

He lapses occasionally by trying to make the plain but amusing Abigail into a pert glamour girl, but he manages to convey the softening influence she had on her crotchety and unbending husband, from the day he first came calling when she was 17 until the moment...
