...elections there are two issues which must be carefully considered: 1) honesty of the election; 2) the election procedure. With regard to the honesty of the election, it must be pointed out that to date there has been no direct evidence of corruption. So far the evidence brought to light is circumstantial.

...dryly wise comment on how life she is lived in the U.S.A., where we learn love is a faith and marriage a chapel. "Birthday Letter" finds Allen Grossman, who teaches at Brandeis, composing in the night; he speaks in pain and hope, honestly.

One of her grandsons is a director of the Bank of England, another will soon be a bishop, and a third is a Cabinet minister-although she can remember when a politician at her dinner table would have been as unthinkable as an American. She is 80 on the day the book opens, but she is still so beautiful...
