...give them an idea of the camera's X-ray powers, CBS last month aired two (one for each party) closed-circuit "orientation broadcasts" to 167 affiliate stations, showing how TV plans to cover the conventions. Top commentators urged delegates to be "natural and sincere," warned that the relentless camera catches not only the impassioned oratory but private mutterings and uncouth mannerisms as well...
...Saarinen's contemporaries long ago discovered, there is a dynamo of relentless energy behind his easygoing façade. A round-the-clock worker, he sets such high standards of perfection that on occasion he holds his draftsmen and designers at their drafting tables straight through the night, is so prodigal with money for research that he recently spent $12,000 to win a competition that guaranteed only $4,000 in expenses.

Dickens accurately follows the relentless progress of the disease. First she suffered from tremor, and "the palsy played among the artificial roses [on her hat] like an almshouse full of superannuated zephyrs." After a stroke "she lay speechless and staring at the ceiling for days; sometimes making inarticulate sounds . . . giving no reply either by sign or by gesture, or in her unwinking eyes." Dickens describes her recovery, the change in her temperament-and the second stroke that...
