...single person I could find who would say a good word about Harry Truman. There were 23 members of the Texas delegation, and only two of us would get on the train and ride with him." Perhaps the analogy explains the currently high influence in the White House of Lawyer Clark Clifford, who helped plan Truman's uphill campaign in 1948. In 1968, for all his sanguine murmurings today, Johnson may find himself in a similar position...
Silence! He was thus a very American Catholic theologian. Born on Manhattan's 19th Street to a Scottish-born lawyer father and an Irish mother, both of whom were Catholics, the boy had shown an interest in medicine as a profession. But he joined the Jesuits at 16, and after earning an M.A. at Boston College, spent three years teaching in the Philippines.

Garrison kept track, though. When the D.A. charged Clay Shaw with being Clay Bertrand and part of a conspiracy to kill Kennedy, Andrews at first...
...goal, the action stops to let each one run over in his mind a private snapshot album of The Ways Things Were. And over across the hill, the Japanese are doing the same. Every cliche is in its niche: the sensitive downy-cheeked youngster who wants to be a lawyer; the noble captain (Wilde) who tells the lad that he "will be a better lawyer for all this"; the hillbilly hankering after "jes' one more woman afore Ah git it." Grisly glimpses of shot-off limbs and other carnage lend the film a certain sense of reality...
