...week, forced to assume that the charge was true, Justice Wahl ordered Powell to pay Mrs. James $75,000 in compensatory and $500,000 in punitive damages. Summing up his opinion of Powell, Justice Wahl indignantly paraphrased a famous insult attributed to Virginia's 19th century Senator John Randolph: "He is a man of splendid abilities, but he shines and stinks like rotten mackerel by moonlight...
Schirra's statistics sounded like whistling in the dark. Even the omens were bad. During the aborted launch attempt, a Cape Kennedy rescue helicopter crash-landed in nearby Banana River. Then word was received that NASA's respected director of space medicine, Dr. W. Randolph Lovelace, and his wife were missing on a private plane flight.

...culture and politics-elements that for another generation were efficiently joined in religion. Her father's ghost keeps advocating piety without religious belief, so Jane, while touring Europe, throws up culture as not worth the price and conceives Hull House, the exemplary instance of human relations saturated with politics. Randolph Bourne is a lamentably deformed younger son who seeks to regain his identity at the neighbors' soirees in Greenwich village, but "to his dismay, he discovered that the girls who talked so convincingly about the 'human sex' were not interested in the art of personal relations." Mabel Dodge Luhan...
