However contrived and unspontaneous most of the time, the convention showed signs of genuine affection for the President, who had good reason to grin and enjoy one of his happier hours in a career of many political vicissitudes. Nixon shared some of the lighter moments with an ebullient Sammy Davis Jr. Davis playfully hugged Nixon at a youth rally, they snapped each other's photos, and Nixon noted that the support of a star like Sammy could not be bought with a dinner at the White House. Also acting it up for the President were John Wayne, James Stewart...

Her strongest link with the future, although she successfully hides it from both children and husband alike, is a sure fore-knowledge of her own approaching death.

Once there, "you have built up the essentials, broken the ego structure...
...more than that gentle irony distinguished the talk: It was the first to be given on film in the Spencer series. Although Simon is generally known as the ogre who stalks Broadway in hopes of trash to skewer for his New York theater column, he's clearly much happier commenting on current film--which he does, at greater length, and for far less pay, in the pages of The New Leader. For his Harvard audience, Simon read a chapter from his forthcoming book on Ingmar Bergman--the director whom Simon reveres as the greatest in film history...
