IMAGES FROM a Gothic novel haunt the second floor of Hilles Library in a strange set of 19th century prints. They recall illustrations in your grandmother's nostrildusting edition of Wuthering Heights where inked lines wove landscapes of odd faces an cloudy moors.

...will listen. The words flow out easily, in an even, forceful voice. A disaster, he says continually. The worst disaster in the country's history. We are the aggressors in Vietnam, he says.

The country has been occupied at various times in its history by the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Portuguese, the Spanish and the French-but it has never been conquered. With a coastline on both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, it is the westernmost nation in Africa, which may account for the fact that it was the first African state to sign a treaty of friendship with the U.S. -in 1787.

...Frequently, the talk centered on the Senate and his role in it. He was generally pleased with his performance so far, he told one friend. But: "I want to establish more of a record." In the wake of Humphrey's defeat, the inevitable White House talk came to haunt him. Repeatedly, he had to say: "I have no timetable...
