...minded Tory diehards (seven were evicted). Macmillan pitched his arguments to their prejudices: he knew that they fear the diminution of Britain's stoutly held independence and deplore the retreat from empire. Said Macmillan: "Anybody of my age [he is 63] who looks back upon his life must reflect with sorrow on what Europe has done to itself in that time. Twice in a generation Europe has torn itself apart in bitter, internecine struggle. By this means (let us face it) the nations have largely destroyed or at any rate threatened the supremacy of Western civilization. Many...
...acre San Juan ranch in the piñon-studded hills north of the city as the location for an amphitheater. Crosby and associates constructed a stage shell with an up-sloping flying roof and forward-sweeping wings designed to kill the echo off the rocky hills. To reflect the sound, engineers sank a pool between the orchestra pit and the 480-seat amphitheater, making one of the handsomest operatic settings in the Western Hemisphere...
...tightening money market did not, as some thought, reflect business pessimism; it showed confidence in the future. Early this year, with exaggerated recession talk rampant, there was a tendency for investors to get out of the stock market and seek the security of bonds and their guaranteed return.

Some are attempts to reflect a recognized master's style; others are done in the painter's own style.

Whether they are semiabstract, magazine-cover American or postcard romantic, most of the unoriginal originals have the restful quality...
Teapot Tempest. There were, in the South and elsewhere, editors who resisted the call to arms, pointing out instead that Ike's and Monty's hindsights on Gettys burg only reflect a verdict long accepted by the U.S. Army and most historians: it was Lee's worst-fought battle. Columnist Pie Dufour observed in the New Orleans States: "These armchair generals are on solid ground, believe it or not." And the Raleigh, N.C. News and Observer argued that Lee's own view of his performance at Gettysburg was at variance with the "Southern Oratory" used...
