...normally take well to lecturings from their juniors, but they were very interested in hearing this one. The "youngest Republican," as he cheerfully proclaims himself, was Big John Connally-five months young as a registered member of the G.O.P., but about as politically junior as Boss Tweed in his heyday.

After Lewis' retirement, Boyle became president in 1963, and soon had to confront the fact that the U.M.W.'s fortunes had declined with the lessening demand for coal.

The Beats who issued position papers in the 50s had a much clearer idea of what they were rejecting. Moreover, the movie obfuscates the fundamental question it asks--what is Benjamin Braddock to do with his life?--with a fairy tale convention--love tried, tested and won, to be carried...

Increasingly ubiquitous, they are even freer spending than the Americans were in their heyday. At Dunhill, the sedate tobacconist in London, three winsome Japanese girls wait on the busloads of their countrymen who visit every day and walk away with the costliest pipes. (Americans usually buy the cheapest.) At the Pathek-Philippe factory in Geneva, Japanese queue up to buy watches for as much as $5,000 apiece...
