...more impressive in the wake of the sidesplittingly inept duel between Viola and Sir Andrew, both of whose foils fly into the air at the opening engagement en quarte, and, later on, wind up in a single hand. Farcical fencing is no easy trick to pull off, and Patrick Crean deserves great credit for his meticulous staging of all the swordplay, both satiric and serious...
Acting to maintain the President's momentum, his aides lashed out at Chairman Peter Rodino and his committee. Patrick Buchanan, Nixon's special consultant and once a wily practitioner of the anonymous news leak, assailed the "nameless, faceless character assassins on the House Judiciary Committee."

Fogel and Engerman maintain that slave families were strong, nuclear patriarchal families--just the reverse of the stereotype popularized by Daniel Patrick Moynihan, or the picture of uprooted slaves forced to recognize only their masters as father figures that Stanley M. Elkins '49 paints in his eloquent Slavery...
