...from the time he surveyed the new Kennedy Cabinet in 1961 and called McNamara "the best of the lot." Whether imposing industrial techniques on the Pentagon (see box, preceding page), helping the President fight an aluminum price rise and settle a railroad labor dispute, or making practical contributions to racial equality in the services, McNamara seldom belied Johnson's description of him as "the finest public servant I have ever seen." On two occasions before the 1964 Democratic Convention, L.B.J. discussed the vice-presidency with McNamara, who declined the offer...

Twenty-eight years, and the machinations of Mao, Stokely, and the Beatles, have not diminished its emotional power...
...rock on which Gone With the Wind is built. Indeed, all the Negroes (even Butterfly McQueen, with the immortal "Lawsy, Miz Scahlet, Ah don' know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies!") are so carefully individualized as characters that it is absurd to label them stereotypes or criticize the film for racial naivete...
