...limelight that the public figure and the private man have fused and become virtually indistinguishable; his handsome wife Marion complains, only half in jest, that even at home he will not answer a question without clearing his throat and buttoning his coat. When approached by a streetwalker late one night in Manhattan, the Senator introduced himself, shook her hand and proceeded to solicit her vote. He loves his eminence and supports it with a sober single-mindedness matched by few, if any, of his colleagues...
Stakhanovite Squirrel. The Manhattan liberal and the Vermont Tory have almost nothing else in common. Nor is Javits exactly a spiritual heir of the late Senator whose office he now occupies. Suite 326 of the Old Senate Office Building used to be Robert A. Taft's lair, but its new appointments scarcely reflect the tastes of the man who was known as "Mr. Republican." Busts of John F.

"I've never advocated selling the Post Office or abolishing social security," Reagan declared, adding that "Americans are united in their determination that no area of human need be ignored." However, he reasoned, "the big question is not whether-but how, and at what cost-these problems will be solved. I respectfully suggest...
...heyday of the hero, history was a game with few players, and a single man could more readily change it all. The Greeks were losing the Trojan war until Achilles was coaxed from his tent. Horatius defended Rome's bridge with only two friends, and even as late as 1528, Pizarro could overthrow the mighty Inca civilization with only 167 men -less than the number commanded by Captain William Carpenter in that recent local battle in Viet Nam. Now with a cast of many thousands or millions, each leader heads only a segment, and decision is often a synthesis...
