Jeff Melvoin, covering his first campaign for TIME, recalls the sight of G. Carlton Snowe helping his daughter-in-law Olympia Snowe win a seat in Congress from Maine. Reports Melvoin: "A big, broad man with an easy outdoor manner, 'Carlie' greeted his neighbors as they came to vote. As I drove away in the bleak New England afternoon, his white hair made him easy to pick out: a large figure bundled up against the cold wind, with a warm word for each passerby, going the last mile for his daughter...
...after helping to raise four children and being legally separated from her husband, a Wichita lawyer, she made her first bid for major political office, starting near the top by running for the U.S. Senate. The petite (5 ft. 2 in.) Kassebaum campaigned at first in a softspoken, gentle manner but quickly picked up the tempo against former Democratic Congressman Bill Roy.

The background painting is rich and highly detailed, and this allows the multiplane camera to exploit its ability to create the illusion of three-dimensionality, rather like the great tracks through the forests of Snow White and Bambi. Disney's craftsmen might have...
...book does not trace her career's development chronologically, but instead juxtaposes incidents by theme rather than by time sequence. While the early chapters describe childhood and adolescence in a fairly straightforward manner--"because my life followed a pattern then"--the later ones, describing her development as an actress, mix past and present, like a mind that jumps spontaneously from one thought to another. "Even if I were to sit down here and describe my career to you," she says, "I wouldn't be precise and orderly; I would go from event to event." Indeed, she attributes her love...
