...Republican cloth coat. Pat, as svelte as she was in 1960 and considerably more chic, generally stays close to her husband rather than striking out on her own. "One spokesman in the family is enough," she says. But in years of campaigning with Dick, she has developed an easy grace with the voters. Daughters Tricia, 22, and Julie, 19, have blossomed into political charmers, paragons of wholesome comeliness in a nonconformist...
BEYOND the Paris the world knows -resplendent Boulevards and leafy esplanades, elegant restaurants and sunny sidewalk cafes-lies a ring of small communities with names like Aubervilliers and St. Ouen, Boulogne-Billancourt and St. Denis. No soaring monuments to Western civilization grace their drab and grimy streets. Instead, the stigmata of the worst of the 20th century abound: the sprawl of brick factories, the grey, faceless slabs of low-income housing projects.

Graves is plain where FitzGerald is prettified, philosophic where FitzGerald is sententious. His austere tone evokes a more troubled, yearning Omar whose tippling is a metaphor for religious mysticism. Yet, surprisingly for a poet of his skill and grace, Graves often lapses into ungainly syntax, primly avoids rhymes, and altogether misses the colorful, melodious murmur that so entrances the ear and emotions in FitzGerald. He may be deliberately exercising his classical restraint or making an overzealous try for accuracy. In any case, he stiffens the flow of the poem. Here is one of FitzGerald's best-known quatrains...
