...Despite the convenience. McPhee's assignment deserves some kind of endurance prize, for he saw his subject in a gamut of moods: testy, comradely, hostile, candid, suspicious, trusting. Cover Artist Russell Hoban too, spent hours with his man, and sought to catch-in one portrait-some of the restless complexity of Gleason's character...
...Urge. The idea seemed interesting to Stevenson. As U.N. ambassador, he had little primary responsibility for U.S. foreign policymaking, and he was getting restless. Moreover, he had long had an urge to enter the U.S. Senate, where his grandfather presided from 1893 to 1897 as Grover Cleveland's second Vice President.

...jack-of-all-arts who became a Broadway star at 21 in Henry Miller's Daddy Long-Legs, a Hollywood star at 34 in Sins of the Fathers, and a bestselling novelist at 56 with Homeward Borne; of a cerebral hemorrhage; in Norwalk, Conn. Gracious of manner and restless of mind, thrice-married Ruth Chatterton spent more than a decade as one of Hollywood's leading ladies making such films as Dodsworth and Madame X, then returned to the stage to score solid triumphs in The Constant Wife and Pygmalion, still had enough excess energy to take...
