...they had, they would never have let him escape. The reason Deraa was a turning point in Lawrence's life, Nutting argues, was the horrifying discovery that he was at heart a masochist. For years Lawrence had indulged himself in private scourgings in the desert to toughen himself. "Pain," wrote Lawrence, "was a solvent, a cathartic, almost a decoration to be fairly worn." Lawrence confessed that under the Turkish whiplashes and bayonets "a delicious warmth, probably sexual, was swelling through me." This realization converted Lawrence into the ruthless sadist who machine-gunned prisoners in cold blood...
...their separate ways. They had known for weeks that Sam Rayburn was dying-but he had somehow seemed indestructible, and few could believe that the end would really come. In fact, the fatal cancer that eventually consumed Rayburn was at work during the spring of 1961, when lines of pain began etching his face and he complained of an aching back. Twice during last June and July he lost consciousness while sitting in the Speaker's chair, only to recover within moments and carry on as though nothing had happened. "They're going to have to carry...
Home to Bonham. Mister Sam fought hard against death. Pneumonia nearly finished him, but he came back for a while. The doctors eased his pain with drugs. They tried X rays and the drug 5-fluorou-racil in a futile attempt to slow the cancer's spread. At last the day came when medicine could do no more and, at his own request, Mister Sam went home to Bonham for the last time, returning to "those friends and neighbors who for so long have given me a love and loyalty unsurpassed in any annals." By last week the cancer...

Bellyaching may be a congenital disease of the small businessman, but the hard fact is that he is usually the first to feel the pain of recession and one of the last to enjoy the pleasure of recovery. In the first nine months of 1961, there were 13,000 business failures in the U.S., v. 11,500 in the same span a year ago -and virtually all of these failures occurred among the nation's 4,500,000 enterprises with capital assets of less than $100,000. Though there has been some recent improvement, small-business failures...
...Pain into Pleasantry. Everywhere the letters bear Walpole's signature as well as his century's. "The first step toward being in fashion is to lose an eye or a tooth-not that I complain-it is charming to totter into vogue," could only beWalpole. Thus he turns pain into pleasantry, parliamentary battles into hair-pulling matches, the universe itself into a ballroom. With just as unillusioned a view, Horace's father became the most successful of British administrators. The father was as philistine as Horace could be exquisite, but they were not too unlike -a cynical...
