...week he told one Chi cago audience he would mobilize all the resources of the nation to maintain law and order, then told an interviewer less than an hour later: "You know and I know that law and order is es sentially a local problem." Having once dismissed the late Robert Kennedy's proposal of a role for the National Liberation Front in the Saigon government* as akin to putting "a fox in a chicken coop," he said two weeks ago that he and Kennedy "came to have remarkably similar views on Viet Nam." Four ex-Kennedy aides called...
...Senate's Post Of fice and Civil Service Committee and is known as "Mr. Aviation" because of his continued-and unheeded-warn ings about America's crowded sky. Intelligent and hardworking, he is the quiet antithesis of Oklahoma's flamboyant king of the Senate, the late Bob Kerr. Yet back in the Sooner State, it was Kerr who took the stump to save Monroney's 1962 re-election bid.

...best novels of James Gould Coz zens (Guard of Honor, The Just and the Unjust) are like carefully preserved late-model Packards: grand and stately vehicles that are neither quite contemporary nor completely anachronistic. But always they are models of impeccable workmanship. In them Cozzens' highly polished prose style gleams like a Simonize job; his subtly conceived characterizations are spun like fine grillwork; and his intricately devised plots are so delicately tuned that they can hum and purr when idling...
