...take criticism in stride (despite all the practice) or to accord aggressive journalism a legitimate role in relation to Government. Going back to his days as a young Congressman, he has been quicker than most politicians to question the motives of those who cross him. The lack of understanding has been mutual. Reporters are accustomed to dealing with evasiveness in politicians; poking behind facades is part of their craft. But as most reporters try to figure out Nixon, one facade seems only to hide another. Not only journalists but many Republican politicians are put off by a quality that comes...
...departure from custom, at his last words--"Thus with a kiss I die"--he is able to move forward only part way toward Juliet's lips before he falls back dead, thus showing that the apothecary's drugs not only "are quick" but are a good deal quicker than he expected.

...condition, disease has spread quickly. Typhus, dysentery, measles and gastroenteritis are rampant. At the teeming Lazaret camp near Niamey, Niger's capital, cholera threatens the 15,000 refugees. In Chad, some emaciated nomads begged a U.N. official not to send them medicines, pleading that death from diphtheria was quicker and hence easier than the slower death from starvation...
