...impelled by a declared charter interest in politics, the Atlantic strove to break out of its parochial mold. It took a sturdy abolitionist position, endorsed Lincoln's election in both 1860 and 1864. It risked the wrath of its readers in 1869 with an article by Harriet Beecher Stowe recounting Lord Byron's incestuous relations with his sister -and spent the next 40 years recovering the 15,000 circulation that it lost as a result. But it could be stuffy too. In an 1882 article on "The Prominence of Athleticism in England," it claimed that Americans could...
...nimble direction by James Hammerstein, and faultless comic timing by a superior cast, Cello breezes along even when it is replaying the same joke.

Her nose is a bit too long...
...life member of the N.A.A.C.P. who has publicly endorsed the aims of the John Birch Society. A doer rather than an original thinker, Cushing openly confesses his inability to follow theological argument; yet his lengthy pastoral letters are often eloquent. He is a tireless fund-raiser out of the mold of brick-and-mortar prelates, but his greatness is measured in intangibles: his extraordinary love for people, the good will he has fostered among men of other faiths...
