...that Richard Nixon is in the White House, the atmosphere has turned medium cool; Lyndon Johnson's always verged on blowup. Nixon's official photographer, Ollie Atkins, 53, stays in the background. He usually sees the President only when other photographers do. He has been called on by Nixon for special photographs fewer than two dozen times. Nixon likes his privacy, and Atkins rarely goes along with him to the golf course or other leisure activities. As for the Nixon family, Atkins has so far taken just a few pictures.

...tandem, the rival roles created by Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. Two such matching pairs exist to test the sweep and sinew of an actor's craft: Marlowe's Jew of Malta and Shakespeare's Shylock, Marlowe's Edward II and Shakespeare's Richard II. The last actor to play the two Jews on successive nights was Eric Porter at Stratford on Avon in 1965.

...present tastes, honed to instant violence, it is by no means obvious that Shakespeare outwrote Marlowe. McKellen's Richard is Shakespeare's, full-strength and without eccentricity, a prince refined down to holy innocence, so that London Critic Harold Hobson could write that "the ineffable presence of God himself enters into him."
